Using the blog I hope to increase the editorial and news content of the PopularWireless site. The site has come a long way since the home page at DougWeb.com where this all got started in 1995. Twelve years! During that time much has changed in personal radio.

GMRS popularity has increased.  FRS was created. MURS was born. The twenty-two channel bubble-pack radios were approved unilaterally by the Federal Communications Commission and massive interference levels on GMRS resulted. Licensees organized to form the Personal Radio Association.

Where is it all going from here? Using the blog, pages of the magazine, and the Personal Wireless BBS we hope to continue chronicling the personal radio options available to the American public. Stay with us.
