Picking up Al's challenge, why don't you bring a proposal to the North
Texas Chapter of the Emgegency Management Association of Texas?  It's
just been formed and I'd bet you might be able to stir some interest.
We'd have to drag in R.A.C.E.S. and the FCC probably since, as I
understand it R.A.C.E.S. operates under FCC aegeis so they would
probably need some buy it to allow a multi-county use of a single
dedicated push.  If you can't make it Al, have Stefka-buba contact me.

William S. Gross, P.E.
Coordinator of Emergency Preparedness 
City of Dallas, 

Don't even think the above represents an official position on the part
of the City.  I have a City Memo telling me I am not authorized to
think.
