Andy/Others,

Anyone know which FRS Channel they will use?

Both of the following pages list the same Freqs for the FRS Channels
http://www.myscannerpage.com/frs.html
http://home.bendcable.com/scanrite/motorola.html

Tonight when I get home I'll look them up and verify that those on that pages are correct
(they are listed in the manual that came with my GE FRS Radio)

I only have a small dual band (2m/440) vert up at 45 feet, and according to 
http://www.indo.com/cgi-bin/dist?place1=wharton%2C+tx&place2=ellinger%2Ctx
I'm about 51 miles from Wharton think that .5 watt FRS will make the trip?

I don't recall seeing a time in the previous emails, any one have an idea as to an estimated launch window?
