Wireless Coverage in Dragon area

Not to thread jack, but... does anyone know a decent 2 way that will work well for communicating at the Dragon this year?

any 2 way radios. go to walmart, i found some cobra ones for 40 bucks.. 16 mile range.. thats pretty much the only way u can communicate, and radios are great for exhaust shoots and whatever else we get into.

I couldn't get service with Nextel nowhere near the Dragon a couple years ago, not even in Robbinsville.

I had a verizon and cingular cell phone there and they both had to be taken to robbinsville to work. The 40 dollar cobra 2-ways worked well. I have 2 of those. On the dragon, they give you about 3/4-1 mile of signal. Nextel will not work.
