Does everyone know a person with a ham radio? We have ham operators here in our community that participate in our emergency ops plan. Maybe we could set something up with a relay in case of internet or electrical problems. We could have their numbers posted for contact in case of an emegency. I am a ham radio operator. HF and VHF. Tech-Plus. I've got VHF and HF equipment and know morse code. [Texas] All of my stuff can operate from my car battery if the power goes out. There is another freeper here that is also a ham....

Great, so far we have Texas and So California. If we can get someone from the northeast, southeast, northwest and places in between we may have something going here. When we do we could freepmail each other the radio frequencies (I guess that's what you call them, I don't know) I am going to check Monday night at their meeting to see if I can get them interested in this.
Anyone else with ham radio neighbors or friends??
