History has already told us that in a REAL disaster, significant amounts 
of critical communications will likely be carried by amateur radio 
operators. The cell phone networks will collapse, as well as the 
wire-line networks. Those with the uninformed, short-sighted view of 
hams as geeks hogging spectrum which is sorely needed by those sacred 
"communications companies" need to get a reality check. The first thing 
to go in our modern society after a major catastrophe will be the 
commercial communications that we depend upon for everyday existence. 

The communication facilities that hams employ (which consists mostly of 
technology of their own creation when it comes to the most sophisticated 
among them) is head and shoulders above anything that is found in the 
commercial world. Anyone with the attitude that hams are just kids that 
are unnecessarily indulged by the FCC and serve no purpose reveals his 
own lack of depth of understanding of the real world.
