Peter et all, I agree. One thing that concerned me greatly was a statement made a while ago that it would take five minutes to clear a frequency for an emergency so I am glad to see some further discussion on how to do this. I can imagine that FIVE minutes for someone having a heart attack, in a critical accident, loosing blood quickly, or many other scenarios could potentially cause deaths before first responders, EMT's, Ambulances or any other medical help arrived at the scene with a 5 minute lag time. This seems to be something that can be done pre emptively and immediately and to me, should be. My two cents. SIncerely, Nancy Bravin
