Using radio to contact persons on ground while flying?

Why we fly, to get away.


Why we fly solo, see above.

| Hi Everyone,
|
| Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I purchased a
backup handheld

if it is permitted

the local area.
|
| I would use a frequency not used locally for any other
purposes.
|
| Your thoughts?
