From: 25 miles northwest of Boston

Bikes: Bottecchia Sprint, GT Timberline 29r, Marin Muirwoods 29er, Trek FX Alpha 7.0

I don't tour & I don't have a license (I got the book & started reading & watching youtube videos but got distracted by other interests), I just listen in from time to time when I travel

I have a BaoFeng BF-UV-5RE (+extra battery +HyparioŽ uv5r Two-way Radio Battery Case [which takes AAs]) & a 15" Hypario 2015 (Updated) DUAL BAND 144/430Mhz SMA-F UV Ham Radio Antenna

I programmed in some channels & frequencies so I can scan & usually find someone, or some thing to listen to, GRS, weather, popular repeaters in my travel areas & of course the common simplex frequencies (just in case)

seems to work pretty well
