HRN 552: Is There a GMRS 'Travel Channel"?

Last July, East Coast Host Gary K4AAQ/WRPG652 posted a QLog Entry about a GMRS ‘Travel Channel’. after repeatedly answering the question “Is there one” on GMRS Facebook and Reddit forums. He linked to that essay when encountering the question several more times, and even got a few ‘good answer’ responses 😀. So we made it a show, because why not?He invited GMRS users on Reddit and Facebook to join the show. Nobody bit, so Gary and West Coast Host David W0DHG/WROT234 rambled around and then went through Gary’s essay to exhausively overanalyze the subject. As we do. Oh, what’s a ‘Travel Channel’. For details, watch the show and/or read the essay, but briefly, it would be one of the GMRS channels that everyone agrees to monitor when they’re out on the highway, so if one of them transmitts (simplex) looking for a contact, others in range will hear them and respond if they’re interested in a chat while motoring along🚗.And… spoiler alert ⚠🚨… Gary says “There isn’t one, but there could be” and suggests GMRS channel 20 (462.675) — not channel 19 — and explains why.
