Ham Talk Live! Episode 89 - Puerto Rico Disaster Communications with Val, NV9L

After the PR debacle I'll bet some of those NGO's are rethinking amateur radio. ARES is slowly sliding into obsolescence being replaced by AUXCOMM (SHARES) for serious disaster situations.
If you don't want to believe hams are becoming less and less important feel free but unless something changes in the way ARES is structured and works it's headed to the trash heap of history.
