Several of us met at Common Fence Point for a ranging experiment with FRS and 2m radios in support of an August Emergency Management Exercise in Portsmouth.
Using the Common Fence Point Community Hall, 933 Anthony Road, Portsmouth RI we tested FRS radios at .5 and 2 watts. Thanks to all that participated. A report of the result is being prepared.
