[Ares-races] Digital emergency communications

[Jerry Reimer]

Howard,

I sincerely thank you for your willingness to at least try this free system 
before forming an opinion about it.  You are among a very small 
minority.  Welcome.

Regarding your comment on being in favor of any format that will restore 
digital ECOM, I can only say:  Amen, brother!

Our ARES group started down this path in May 2002, after our emergency 
management folks said:  "Voice is fine, but if you hams want to remain 
valuable to us in the future, you must find a way to interface with our 
message systems, and send your reports from the field by e-mail."
