Reminder to ourselves - we discussed in the car that we should explore FRS and cellphone communications if we are remotely packing a large trailer at close of Pennsic.

Communications

[claidheamh.livejournal.com]

Cellphone is probably much more reliable than FRS - FRS range is .3 - 1 mile, and we'll be a little over a mile away at the trailer drop. Also, we'll have a big damn hill in the way.

Actually, a lot of FRS units these days will reach up to 5 miles line of sight, using some new frequencies. Pennsic doesn't have a lot of tall concrete and steel buildings in the way, but does have the big hill. Still, worth a try. Jane, I think I have a pair I could lend to you and Mark to try it out.
