Okay, lets consider a REAL emergency, such as a tsunami hitting a coastal community. Some of the first communications out of that area is an initial damage assessment, medical aid, requests for earth-moving equipment, transportation of various kinds, perhaps requests for food supplies (there could be other things). "Health and welfare" messages of a personal nature are LOW on the priority list. Yes, and hams can handle that low priority stuff to offload the more important communications links. "I took care of the mundane boring stuff so the heroes could save the lives"... Perhaps we should ask the people who are on the ends of that health and welfare, low priority comms how low of priority those are? Like "Hello Mother and father, I am alive and healthy, but in need of a new passport." How important is that? On the global scale, not to much, but critically important to the people involved.... - Mike KB3EIA - |
