Sure they have and can, but when the cell network is down, ham radio
will be there if needed.

This weekend will see "Heartland Response 2004" conducted in
Western Tennessee and parts of Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky and
Missouri.

It will simulate (among other things) and earthquake along the
New Madrid fault.

Say Hi to Dick/W0EX.

I think the New Madrid Fault was the only thing that kept him going.
