As I explained in my first paragraph, we simply don't have the numbers.
Therefore, we're not going to be able to go around screaming we're a
constituency with the hopes that alone will convince the FCC to support
us.
We're going to have to provide cold hard facts and I've seen little of
that
in the opinions I've read.


ARES, and they're usually coordinated with
local OEM.


Sorry, I haven't found a thing ARES is doing related to homeland
security.
If you're aware of anything, please let me know so I cite that when
talking
to others.


Do nothing and nothing will certainly result.


I'm not saying do nothing. Instead, I'm saying what we're doing is
probably not going to be enough.

I agree, I don't know of any actual ARES/Homeland security happenings at
all.

But I do know of MARS and Homeland security and the SHARES organization.
And last time I checked to be in MARS you had to have a ham license.
