please stop and think about this entire thread. we all have a radio (or
two) in front of us. if an event happened that required HF comms, i
would think plenty of people would stop contesting and monitor the
situation. is ham radio contesting that important that it must happen
during a emergency that needs HF support? would you still try to run'em
if a disaster struck like the tsunami?
if there is a real life and property situation, the bands would
quickly make space just from the amount of people monitoring. at least,
i would hope the people with the best stations on the planet would stand
by in such an instance...
