I give up, Dee. You simply cannot get past the word "required." Again,
there is no "required" associated with "mandate" or "authorization" in the
sense used.


You have just demonstrated how little
you know about ARES and RACES.


I've said nothing in the message you replied to about ARES or RACES other
than "the FCC has set rules on what is and isn't authorized in that
situation." Please explain how that demonstrates how little I know about
them?
