Re: How does your club communicate on tours?
FRS radios are dirt cheap and have good range, and I can't get the club to try them. However, our club did something unexpected and made a "touring roster" that has all the members' names and just their cellphone numbers listed. It is very small and easily fits in the Model A door pockets. Not perfect, but better than nothing. They are even starting to use text!
The way to use group text for touring - At the start of the tour, someone texts all the participants at once with a group text. Then, whenever one of the participants replies, everyone in the group gets it. For drivers who are touring solo, this isn't a good idea. However, with a cellphone on vibrate, and an alert passenger in charge of the phone, the group text seems to work better than anything else.
