CH, Ohio GMRS repeater capable two-way radio as a family safety backup for cellphone and internet communications outages, the backbone of the WCH GMRS Community Radio Watch, and a hobby interest. My name is Dr. John Nestor, and as a longtime Fayette County resident, I aim to support the development of W.C.H. I am a certified HAM radio operator and I look to support residents in using voluntary GMRS radios with free connection for communication support and backup.

Per the Ohio EMA, Hocking County conducted a scenario drill based on a cellphone and internet outage. Amateur radio was mentioned getting messages to the state EMA. But the gap remains on the local level, when alert systems go down, then what? For smaller communities, the overlooked solution is repeater capable GMRS. The Clinton County EMA Director complimented us for our WCH GMRS.
