All,

There are a zillion Tactical addresses in the [WL2K] current database.

That brings me to another point - worthy of a SURVEY on the 
wl2kemcomm at yahoogroups.comv e-mail reflector.  (Moderator take note.)

Q: How many hams in your ARES community can presently muster out with E-mail 
Over Ham Radio in Support of EMCOMMs?

Qualification:  This would only include Paclink or Airmail (Packet or 
Pactor), and those who have already set up one or more tactical accounts and 
could move their E-mail-equipped ham radio station to a tactical site (field 
or served agency office), and be E-mail/radio ready in less than, say four 
hours departuer from home. (That is a lot of leway!)  To keep this honest, 
assume that there is no local internet connection at time of notification. 
(If you don't know why that is important you can't be included!)  This would 
also include the operator really understanding the TelPac nodes in the area 
and how to navigate the packet network to them.

Don't count those who say, "I can get it set up and going in less than four 
hours."  - No, they can't!

My answer for my area including five counties in heavily populated E. 
Central Florida:

Six or Eight at the most.

My guess is for the entire state of Florida - not more than 10 or 12!

We need to do a lot better than that!
