This one is in the "let's get serious" category. I've handled several thousand
of pieces of
message traffic by voice in ONE of our hurricane emergencies in Florida.
I mean voice messages *copied by hand, with re-reads for clarity*. There are
serious safety
of life issues!
I do not recommend voice. Digital would be faster, more accurate, and can be
archived for
resolving continuing emergency and field-hospital issues. At the time reliable
digital was simply
not available.
If you want to try what "copyby hand" feels like, I urge you to enter your next
RTTY contest
using just a hand written log. I think you'll get the idea pretty quickly.
But, I'm sure you really did not mean "use voice" for messages in a real
emergency seriously.

No special equipment required, fast and effective, less battery power,
anyone can copy.
