[Elecraft] Emergency Nets

[ron]

  As we all know, there is traffic on 14.265 with occassional inactivity 
(inactivity is good).

I too, am surprised with the success of using phone. Satern uses
phone and their protocols require use of phonetics when in doubt.
They also require use of "pro-words" during traffic handling which works 
very well.

Sometimes during an exchange, one can become emotional and the need to 
be clear is important. That is maybe why CNN was repeated phonetically.
Protocol rules, do not "assume".

The use of digital modes may work well, but you still need phone to 
originate the data.

I find the very basics of ham radio always comes through when disaster
strikes.
