[FADCA] Sedan

[Edwin Crowell]

Sorry Jerry,  You've been misled again.  You have probably never tried
to use Sedan before.  Those of us who have discovered during an
emergency like Charley it does NOT work.  The message dies before it
gets delivered.  Just exactly what we feared.  That's worse than not
being able to connect.  At least then you know the message didn't go
out, and you can keep trying.  You connect and truly believe the
message has been sent only to find out a week later that it never went
anywhere!  I don't mean to be critical of anyone, much less you.  I
respect you, your training, experience and certainly your knowledge.
Sometimes even all that is not enough.  Jerry, Please stick with FADCA
and let them (us) help each other create a reliable, inexpensive
redundant, multi-level system.  Then, everyone will be a winner, you,
me, and Bud as well as FADCA and our friends and neighbors who we are
actually protecting with the system.    Best wishes, Ed, W5TWR
P.S. I don't mind being wrong, because that's when I learn the most.  eac
