Re: Fcc listening?

Pointless that you are too intelligent, or that I had a valid reason for Ham radio?

To add to a reason for Ham radio, I talked to a doctor today who was in Florida when the tornadoes went through. Yes, the cell phones worked and the power was still on. But you could not use the cell phones (and she had two, Verizon and another) or the land lines because they were overloaded. The outdated and worthless radio was the communications to the hospital from her operations site. Granted it was only about four hours, but to some people that is the difference between being helped and not being helped.
