[CQ-Contest] RM11708 and the Future

[James Rodenkirch]

By the  bye......waving the "emergency com banner" while arguing for RM11708 is specious!

It is totally wrong to buy into the "give it up for Emcomm" because, in practice during Emcomm, the cell phone is used exclusively to ham radio.  In real emergencies the commercial radios with sites that have been hardened and readied for this specific use AND the cell phone sites which are also readied and hardened far beyond ham ability AND cell phone routing will allow ONLY Ecomm traffic FROM ONLY real responders.... thereby relegating the hams to a tertiary function that in actuality can actually be considered commercial . i.e., hams will be handling traffic for agencies that are doing their day to day job.  

Don't wave the Emcomm flag.  IMHO, it don't stand up in the breeze of truthful reality.
