The main reason I got one was        NR> because I'm a member of the local CERT (Community Emergency Response        NR> Team) which arms you with a lot of knowledge. Some of that is that        NR> when all hell breaks loose, the only way to communicate over        NR> distances may be with a HAM radio due to cell towers being down.               BBSing and ham radio do seem to have a strong correlation at times.              73 DE KS4TD,       Sean              --- FleetStreet 1.27.1        * Origin: Outpost BBS Local Console * bbs.outpostbbs.net:10323 (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 123/131 129/305 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 200 206 307 312 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 426 428 470 664 700 266/512 282/1038 291/111 292/854       SEEN-BY: 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
