Subject: Cell phone woes
From: "KØHB" Date: 4/22/2004 11:04 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: et "JJ" wrote | | And that is why the military and other emergency officials do not | include cell phones in their emergency planning , but they do include | amateur radio. | I spent a whole career involved in military (Naval) communications planning, from single units to entire fleets, and never once included amateur radio as a component of that planning. You never seerved at a Naval facility that didn't have a MARS station or used MARS for passing ANY kind of traffic, Hans...??? I know of four military facilities, one of them Naval, that incorporate MARS teams for emergency purposes, and two of them that utilize RACES teams for civil coordination in appropriate scenarios. Civil Defense guys like FEMA in fact do count on amateur radio in emergency situations. "Civil Defense guys" include military planners. I just finished "Heartland Response 04" and I can tell you that there were at least two uniformed representitives from Penatgon offices there. Guess they forgot to consult you first, Hans. Go figure, eh...?!?! Steve, K4YZ |
