I guess it depends on if you hate hams or not. If you hate hams, one message getting out means that Cell phones work great in an emergency. - Mike KB3EIA - |

I heard that a guy used his CB radio to get a ride for a woman who's car stalled. Even if someone did use text messaging to get a message through, that sort of thing is just the exception that proves the rule. - Mike KB3EIA - |
