[CQ-Contest] Public Service

[James P. Cassidy]

As Ward N0AX and Ron WD4AHZ have pointed out, contesters make would make
very good emergency communicators.
I also  want to point out that in a lot of cases it has been just the
opposite, that many traffic handlers have become contesters. Tree N6TR and
a multitude of other 6 call area contesters are a prime example.  And I
came from that  direction myself.  Must admit contest exchanges thru
QRM,QRN, QSB etc are easier than lots of written messages.  And in
listening to some of the existing emergency operations, most contesters
would have passed the traffic in the time they take to give out callsigns
and instructions.
