frankly US mail might more effective

but the rpoblems with Ham radio today is Ham themselves

look at Steve and Dave and Dan from here

nothing is their own fault the porblem is always that other refuse to
work with them

Hams like these folks are making the use of Ham radio in offcial
emergancy channels more and more expensive in frustarion man hours than
it used to be

and as document for by Dan the served agencies are refusing to pay the
price of using the ARS

this leaves Ham radio in big emergencies with only the role of trying
to gaurd the falnks of EMS in passing HW traffic so that people don't
bother the EMS with it

you comoents on Skywarn and stuff like is more on target but ham IMO
needto deal with the fact many served agencies think "we don't work or
play well with others"
