http://www.meetup.com/Future-Apocalypse ... 220156328/This freq is MURS, and does not require a HAM licence. This is NOT a preparedness meeting, but a preparedness Ham Radio Net that meets weekly on Tuesday nights at the below frequency. Nonhosted unless someone steps up. Prepper Net Every Tuesday night at 6:30PM PST on 151.8200 MHz Some folks have come together and chosen a frequency or channel that all preppers can use. They assume that you probably have a Baofeng or Wouxun type radio, or other radio capable of transmitting in the MURS band. We picked this frequency because you do not need a license. You do not need to be a ham radio operator. What do I do? Just program 151.820 into your radio and label it as PREP. From another team: "It is our intention to have as many members of our community as possible to use this frequency." Every Tuesday night at 6:30pm PST just monitor that channel. At some point, after we get enough people, you may begin to actually have contacts on that channel. Maybe getting to a higher place in your op area will help you hear what's going on. Why do I care? Perhaps you are going to travel and you may find preppers on that channel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Use_Radio_Service

This sounds interesting, and I have a license KG6ITC. Have never heard of MURS.
Will login next time if I can figure it out.
For the 2 Meter band that many hand held ham radio operators use... would be Bad-Ass to have a WAGuns repeater.
