I didn't see that thread and I darned sure would not have laughed - I am in total agreement with you - yes, yes and YES!!!! That's what we need! I tried to set one up in a special prepping channel where many of us became friends, but it didn't fly very far. Too many links in geographical line had to switch to telephones or cell phones, then back to HAM, etc.

I'm in if you are setting it up! Of course, now the wrong people will be following us, and eavesdropping, deliberately twisting the truth for us, or cutting us off at the pockets. Darned if we do and darned if we don't!!
