I'm just so happy that you finally acknowledged that mere cell phones
play a major role in disaster communications. Or did you?

Sure they have and can, but when the cell network is down, ham radio
will be there if needed.

This weekend will see "Heartland Response 2004" conducted in
Western Tennessee and parts of Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky and
Missouri.

It will simulate (among other things) and earthquake along the
New Madrid fault.

One of the scenarios to be practiced for will be the loss of
commercial telephone service, both conventional hardline and wireless
service.

Of the several senarios that WON'T be playing will be one wherein
cellphones are deployed to provide "emergency comms" because of a loss
of RADIO communication, regardless of whose radio service it is.

Among other features to be deployed will be HIGHBIRD missions
flown by Civil Air Patrol to provide orbiting radio relay capabilites
in addition to datalink service.

Yours truly will be at the EOC in Nashville. As of this hour I
do not find the names of "Brian Burke" or "Leonard Anderson" among
those consultants being brought in by FEMA, The Army Corps of
Engineers, TEMA, or other supporting agencies.

ARES and RACES will be represented, however.

Go figure, huh...?!?!?

Steve, K4YZ

PS: If any of you are "Utility DXers" and log "TENNESSEECAP TEMA" or
"TENNESSEECAP 250" on Saturday the 20th or Sunday the 21st, QSL via
K4YZ and I'll be glad to return a card for you.

I heard they were planning on checking in with their cellphones as part
of the CYHMNEPT (Can You Hear Me Now Emergency Preparedness Team) 8^)

For EMS, there's RADIO.

Isn't it a pity? [for you, that is] :-)

Will you be having a press conference afterwards and signing
autographs for your adoring fans? Giving out 8x10 glossies?

Maybe the Blue Angels will perform a fly-over and aerobatic
demonstration at the conclusion? If so, find out who is one
of the Solo pilots. That name may come as a surprise. :-)

Be sure and snarl, spit, and otherwise pejorate anyone with a
cell phone. Hit them with your "shack-on-the-belt" HT if they
give you any trouble. Show them who is Boss. :-)

Happy simulating emergencies.

In southern California we don't need any "simulations" of
earthquakes. We have the REAL THING. :-)

That would be Maj. Len Anderson, USMC.

A relative, perhaps?

Not a relative...but isn't so terribly IRONIC, though!!!!

Imagine, a real live commissioned U.S. Marine Corps Officer
and an F-18 Hornet PILOT with that name!!!!!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops, let myself cut and paste from the mighty CAP ace's postings.

My apologies.

Oops again, I spelled with a C and E instead of two S!

BWAHAHAHAHA.... (this is too easy)

Ironic? Perhaps.

But I wonder how he'd react to reading posts written by a like-named
person who tries to embellish his military "career" by associating himself with
men who were KIA 3 years before you were in the Armed Forces...?!?!

Being foolish IS "too easy" for you, Lennie. Waaaaaaaaaay too easy.

It isn't called the "Armed Forces" for nothing. It is the nature of
what we do that associates us with KIA.

Only a callous idiot like you would try to rationalize what Lennie did as
"OK".

Claiming some fraternalism or professing to not break the chain of trust
and honor among Soliders is one thing...THAT is part of the Armed Forces.

Trying to embellish one's own personal "achivements" (or lack thereof)
based upon someone else's sacrifices is absolutely callous and cruel.

I know two "Len Anderson"'s here in SE Tennessee...

Thankfully, both of them are responsible, thoughtful men of reputable
character.

Unlike the "Len Anderson" who posts to RRAP.
