Are there any ham radio people out there? I have been thinking about using them when I'm out in the boondocks since cell coverage is scant in this part of the world. I'm working on my website photographing the desert and I worry about the long walk home if my Jeep breaks down.
You don't need to learn morse code any more to get a license. There are some handhelds that you could even use on cruise ships (in some countries) that one could talk a lot farther than those little FRS radios
