I just read the latest QST. In "How's DX?" the author notes that ham
radio "used to be" the prime communication from and to Haiti. But now,
with cell phones, satellite, etc. it is no longer as important.
This is the real world. Morse is NOT the issue.
it is till it is gone
Relevance (is that the correct spelling?) is the issue.
Ham radio really WANTS to help in emergencies. This is very
commendable. I think, though, we've been sidelined.
We're still there "when all else fails". Morale of those involved
remains high, from what I hear / read.
However, in a typical emergency, ham radio is not nearly as primary as
it used to be. It's OK. We can still contribute.
gee wonder if Robeson will flame for that statement
