This definition says all the past HF emergency communications were useless and might as well never have been attempted.
New and different doesn't always mean better or more useful. Emergency communications always boils down to using whatever is available and whatever works under the circumstances. This really requires depth in the number available modes and frequencies. Pinning all your communications hopes on one mode is a recipe for failure. Things never go as planned. The strength in emergency communications will always come from skilled operators. 73 de Brian/K3KO --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "expeditionradio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is HF emergency communication really viable? > For HF emergency communication to be taken seriously, > it must be able to make the call or send a message > without prior notice, at any time of the day or night. > > That was the opening statement of the ALE presentation > at the Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications > Conference in August 2007. > > View the presentation: > http://hflink.com/garec > > Bonnie Crystal KQ6XA >
