I'm not sure where to put this, but we need to encourage those who are coming to bring their FRS radios with them. We used these at the Ramble and the Fall Foliage run. They are invaluable, and you can never have enough IMHO.

This can be deleted after comments or suggestions.

Keep it up here as a reminder. I don't own a set but I'm open for suggestions.

I just bought a pair of Motorola TalkAbout.
Office Max has them on sale. $29 for a pair.

is it time to go public with this request?

You could just post it on the WCC Survival Checklist thread.

I have also incldued the suggestions for the radios in the registration confirmation paperwork, which I hope to send out in about a week to each registrant.

I've got serveral FRS radios that can be loaned out as long as I get them back.

Make sure to mark them with your name and phone. That will help to get them back properly.

Yep, that'll help but hanging on to something of value will really work. Like a credit card, $20, or blackmail ...
