You're potentially in a high-noise low-signal poor-antenna situation. The equipment required is fairly complex, and you need a fair amount of technical knowledge to set it up. When I build a mental image of someone at a shelter trying to set up this gear, it's hard for me to see success. Finally there's the issue of what data gets sent; some of it probably is not appropriate for transmission using amateur radio. A way this works with WinLink (and what we are implementing in MA) is that you put full-up WinLink stations, with both HF and VHF capability, in a few hardened (state-owned) EOCs. Local EOCs and shelters use AirMail (the WinLink client) with VHF TNCs to communicate with the state EOCs, with forwarding over the Internet if it's still up, or HF otherwise. A VHF-only WinLink client station can be quickly set up in a temporary EOC or shelter, and can even be used mobile. - Dennis Brothers, N1DB |
