OK, but we have a different definition of "emergency" traffic. I was
using emergency in the sense of "there's been a major disaster,
people are dying, send help now". You were using it in the sense of
"Hi mom, Suzie, the kids and I are all ok".
For the kind I was talking about, 100 watts from a battery powered
rig is sufficient.
