@wb2ifs Thanks for the link. Interesting.

@mountainwitch typical WSJ — not a word about the emergency comms and public safety aspects of Part 97. We are just a bunch of old geezers who are in the way of these masters of the universe(*) already breakin the law using experimental licenses for commercial purposes.

@Dhmspector Yeah, emcom is the whole reason why I got into ham in the first place. Having another avenue of communication during extreme situations is essential.
@mountainwitch problem with all of these jackasses is the know the cost of everything but the value of nothing..
