If it is not confidential :-) jirib Totally off topic, but ham radio is almost always the first means of communications after a disaster. It's also a system to bridge between various agencies during said disasters as just about no government has been able to coordinate cross-agency stuff. This is true every where. Not to mention hams building satellites, digital networks, bouncing signals off the Moon and hordes of other things. You cell phone *will* die during any kind of real emergency. My ham systems won't. ;-) --STeve Andre'
