"Community emergency response team."
A damned good program, when taught correctly.  Teaching it
correctly is hands on, not a bunch of book learned rote
memorization crap, but hands on, then practice.

Get your ham license, and operate high power 15 meters, or
21 mhz.  For some reason high powered 15 meter operations
seem to sap all the bass from those subwoofs, best I can
come up with.

I know they're illegal, but I wish more public places would
deploy those smell phone jammers.  PEople who use them
during meetings and other such as rude, and drivers are some of the rudest
as they're not paying attention.  I've done
the "one finger salute' at more than one moron on a cell
phone not paying attention to what they were doing with a
vehicle.

Regards,
           Richard
