Most emergency operations don't even need or use HF.
All of yesterday's activity for Hurricane Isabel was VHF/UHF
for local and county operations.

Think beyond local and county operations, Bill. Here in West Virginia
there were HF operations on both 40 and 75m.

So be it then. This issue is about
a CW test requirement anyway...not whether you want to use
CW in your local area for emergency comms.
