Description:

This recording was recorded with my iPhone 6s running iOS 9 recorded back in July 2016. Back then I was running one of my cool uniden walkie-talkies that I don't have anymore because the battery eventually gave out. For some who don't know, some walkie-talkie channels share frequencies with amateur radio repeaters, for example, channel 17, which was one of them that I was talking on. I talked to this guy about a lot of things. This wasn't my first time talking to him, my first time was somewhere around the end of March 2016, then I believe sometime in June and then the time that you're hearing this. Unfortunately I don't have the recording of my first contact with him with my walkie-talkie. I can tell that this guy owns this repeater, because he had everything pre-recorded giving out the repeaters call sign. The repeater is an nearby repeater close to me in a place in Ohio not far from me at all so everything was coming in clear. I was also sick in this recording with the cold, which kind of sucked. But it was still a pretty good recording.

I was always able to listen to these guys but I could never talk to them. I enjoyed it back in the day. Good times, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who was able to do this.
