Providing emergency communications
Lets be honest here and not confuse the desire to erect and use large
antenna structures to facilitate DX'ing and other radio pursuits with the proposition of providing 'emergency communications'. I would guess that 99.9% of the ham population never has or ever will provide the types of 'emergency communications' to which you refer in support of the erection of large towers and antenna arrays in deference to zoning restrictions. Even while a vast majority continually chase the holy grail of possessing a 'Big Gun' signal on the air. The argument sounds great till you actually tune around the bands during normal, every day activity and maybe once in a while during a real emergency. What you hear is the daily 'playing' of big gun radio operation. Excessive power, excessive bandwidth used and nothing short of electronic bullying/boasting of my signal is bigger than your signal. When an emergency does occur a relatively small number of big gun stations (usually located away from the big cities on large tracts of expensive, desirable out of the way land where restrictions and covenants do not even come into play) handling the brunt of the communications. And a few passersbyes who may just listen or possibly check in to alternate 'controll the onlookers' nets, so they can tell their buddys and the uninitiated that they were helping out with one disaster or another before they get bored with the whole thing and move on to the latest must have dx or contest contact. Lets be real. Nothing wrong with Dx'ing and Contesting or any other facet of the hobby. But know that these are the real reason behind many off the cuff fan the flame posts in support of knocking down zoning rules and not a 'real' desire to provide an at the ready emergency communications setup. Been around long enough to know that truth! |

Interest payments have replaced share-cropping. Roughly half of what the average wage earner makes goes to pay interest to the Banking class. mike |
