Because in a major disaster calling for emergency comms, the cell
network will be, far all practical purposes, useless.

You have only one size of emergency: Huge!

That's laughable.

It may be all he has that is huge...

Ahhhhh, yes...Lennie fires an opening volley of "personal perjorative",
the nature of which had certain underlying innuendo that he-himself has decried
others using in numerous past posts.

In addition to the communication ability of military and
civil services, they will rely on Amateur Radio if it is needed,

So Amateur Radio isn't their first choice? How sad.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...another Legend of the Airwaves down in flames.

It wasn't a legend to start with.

The "legend" status was bestowed by you. The rest is archived history.

Obviously one that is sufficiently true enough for CURRENT emergency
planners to continue to rely upon.
