Though I am a licensed Ham, I realize that those of us that are comprise a very small percentage of GMC owners. The benefits of radio communications are numerous however!
There is a very popular (and free) walkie talkie app for "smart" phones called Zello. iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phones are all covered. There's even a Windows application for your PC. I installed the Zello app tonight, then created a channel specifically for us. It's not completely secure, but does require a password so that should minimize outsiders from joining the channel.
I thought that I would suggest that others join and see how popular it becomes. Just think about its usefulness at rallies! The possibilities are endless really.
If you would like to experiment, install the Zello app, then search for the channel called GMC MH. The password for this channel is the city that all of our GMCs were born in - Pontiac (capital P).
I'll be listening to the channel for the next couple of hours, then again all day tomorrow.
