doppler join:2003-03-31 Blue Point, NY	Betcha the only reliable network was Amateur Radio Operators It's situations like this, that amateur radio operators train for. I would be willing to bet anything. A HAM was following and communicating for personnel not a Fireman or policeman. So when you think a ham is crying about BPL and his antiquated hobby. Think again about CELL PHONES THAT ARE USELESS.

Exactly... I'm a licensed Amateur Radio operator.. Have been for a year and a half, I even went as far as to upgrade my license to allow for global communications on the HF bands. I also know morse code which can be a major survival tool if you are stuck in a disaster. I participate in 5 "nets" where amateurs meet daily at a certain time to train for these scenarios by passing "traffic" aka messages across the continent quickly and accurately. -Tzale -- "I'm a Geek, Are You?"
