   Well, if the LOCAL cell net is down but HAM is up you could at least   
   use Winlink to get a message out from the local area to a place where   
   it was working. Or am I not understanding it correctly? I thought he   
   would link some Winlink repeaters so it's ALL HAM traffic.

   I meant the Winlink operates at 9600.
