Somehow I forgot this thing existed (National Radio Quiet Zone).  I haven't really traveled that area like I used to; but today I started wondering how the NRQZ affects FRS and GMRS radio communications. So far I haven't been able to find a list of what's actually prohibited in the zone. I see that emergency service comms are allowed as are HAM (with what restrictions), but I can't find any specifics... Can you guys point me to the correct text for reading? (or just tell me) |

I'm relatively close to the NRQZ. It doesn't effect mobile communications through the area. Though they have a coordinator who will work with people who want to plan operating portable just the same. The communications that I have seen with them have been very positive and they appreciated the hams letting them know when/where they would be operating. There are some SOTA summits in the area that I would love to check out someday.
I'm sure that someone else here has a lot more experience with this than I do so I'll let them comment on the specifics. |
