Let me see now... I have a reading comprehension problem... There are
MILLIONS of FRS users compared to 675,000 couch potatoes. What makes you
think that the proposal for a National SOS Radio Network is going to make
any changes to Amateur Radio Service response to national disasters?
APPARENTLY, AMATEUR SERVICE FAILED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A NATIONAL
RESPONSE
TO DISASTER COMMUNICATIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE---THAT'S WHY FRS IS
GOING TO
TAKE THE PLACE OF THE AMATEUR SERVICE!



And millions more cell phone users. Let the cell phone users make up
the emergency network, eh?

And we have seen first hand several times lately just how great the cell
phone network performs with all the cell towers out of service.
