Bonnie, What radio services are we going to interoperate with? Normally this would be illegal operation. Even under emergency conditions, you need to be very careful about transmitting outside the ham bands. Even if the FCC says it could be legal, it may not be legal under other entities

We have plenty of oddball ham-only HF methods for hams to play hobby with. But very little attention is being paid to interoperation with other radio services, for initial calling, voice, image, or data. I support the 5066 standard in amateur radio. It is time for hams to step up to the plate,
