Who said that?
What *has* happened is that cell phones do much if not most of the 911-type
reporting that we hams used to do.
Really? "Hams used to do the 911 communications?"
Misquote, Len. Jim wrote "reporting". In that he is correct. Since so
many (most?) people have a cell phone, it stands to reason that the
initial report is more likely to be made by a person using a cell phone.
I don't think so. That's a fantasy brag far above the membership
