K1TTT makes and extremely valid point concerning his
station. (See his comments for emergencies) Some of
these stations that are used for contesting are bigger
than government stations...if there is a thing like
that anymore.
Maybe, some of the stations around the country should
be earmarked for Homeland Security Status. What that
really means I am not sure. But, it would make sense
to me to use these stations to maintain communications
on several wavelengths...using power..and big
antennas.
Now, what I don't want to see is they get Homeland
Security Grants of $100,000 to install or maintain the
station. That would make competition pretty lop-sided
in my estimation.
But, it is a good idea for the nation as a whole.
Just a thought...your mileage may vary...
You see...contesting is good for something....
Contesting and Traffic Handling are very close
cousins.
