My LDS stake in San Diego had ham radio ops, but also had an effective "phone tree" and "on the ground" connectivity via foot or bicycle. We could account for 5,000 people in the space of 30 minutes without phone or radio.

Anyway to join LDS w/o believing the crap?

If you have some LDS neighbors, ask if you can participate in the emergency preparedness drills. It's a good time to review your own readiness with respect to food, water, first aid and other common needs in an emergency situation. If you're an active ham, I'm sure you would be welcome to participate in the drills.

The Mercury Amateur Radio Association was formed and spun off from the church organization.
