The thing that holds most of us back from alternate power is the cost
and safety issue. It is not without risk and you have to trade the cost
and benefit. I agree that each individual case does not determine what
most might want to do, but 99% won't be doing much with emergency power.
It is not

Hi Steve,
I do have an 80 amp hour AGM battery under my operating position that
is kept trickle charged. While this is not that common, there are some
hams who have at least rudimentary backup power capability. In the last
year or so, there was a poll to see how many ARES/RACES HF stations in
Thanks, Steve. I'd have thought that putting the tuner in bypass
during receive would be problematic in terms of received signal
strength, but if local coverage is the objective perhaps this isn't
an issue.
A multiband antenna, as I mentioned in a previous post, would be an
alternative. Multi

Actually, it requires nothing more than the usual ham radio rig

Hi Bonnie,
Several points to ponder:
-Is this cross banding something that can be done whenever the two
parties wish to do so so? I am not familiar with this except for special
temporary type authorization by the FCC based upon 97.111(a) such as for
Armed Forces Day and certain RACES stations

The message you cite provides no reference to an amateur
