Since when is Amateur radio use predicated on Emergency
Communications? That is not the ONLY reason for Amateur Radio (well,
maybe in your world). My reason for Amateur Radio is far from EmComm
and Providing a service "when all else fails." Though I do support
ARES and RACES, I do a lot of other things that are Amateur Radio
related, to include contesting and Satellite Contacts.
EMCOMM IS NOT THE ONLY REASON FOR AMATEUR RADIO.
