How about 9/11...
Hams were there as communicators when all the other
systems failed..

I can give you one example. The ice storm of 94 here in KY knocked out all
communications except Amateur. Winlink wasn't around then but if it had it
would have been used I'm sure. Packet Radio was used in that storm.

A few comments...
1. Ham radio is dying, because modern communications technology
has
passed it, and the amateur community, even if totally united
(ha
ha), doesn't have the resources to combat it in any
meaningful way.
It may be dying in the sense of the membership
The original point of your post was that Ham Radio
in EMCOMM is a joke...
Clearly it is not..
Cedar Fires did not use Winlink because it was not
yet available... would we have used it if it were available.. definitely ...
especially for shelter management...etc..
