When inclement WX hits and the phone lines are down it will be back to Ham
Radio the way it always has been. Good old radios and antennas....and for
those with preplannning a Marine battery or two as well.

How often has your fantasy been played out? Can you give examples where YOU
encountered that?

Newy York, September 11th, 2001.

The Midwest floods in the 90's.

Any number of hurricaines in the last 50 years in the Gulf States
and Atlantic Coast.

Need more, Vippy?

Steve, don't even try to cash in on Sept 11th unless you were there
and provided emergency communications via amateur radio.
