>>11648953>>11648952Sorry but that's not even true. You're not even on the same band as the broadcasters. Have you ever used an HT in a city? Seriously wtf where are you getting this information from? Sure the range will be reduced due to all of the barriers, but even being able to communicate with someone a mile away is huge when you're in a crisi. That's not to mention how dense a city is, so for all intents and purposes a mile in an urban setting != a mile in the country. Also you can just get on a fucking roof and boost your transmission distance by over ten-fold. Please lrn2ham
