[FADCA] Uses of Packet During an Emergency

[bud Thompson]

Joe -

I've not yet received the e-mail from the Boca Raton Hospital you got.  I 
will comment later once I have it.

I would suggest, even prefer, that we get Doug WB4KGY and/or John WB4MOZ to 
comment ASAP since they know everything that is to be known about the switch 
there and network coverage in the area.

All I could do is provide some general information on  how the system 
works - and can refer you and the Boco Hospital folks to some basic Power 
Point shows avaialble on the internet - if you haven't seen those yet on the 
fadca website.

later
73,
