I can remember when D-STAR first hit the street. It was poo-pooed because "it won't work if the internet goes down". I wonder where those people are now. Any dumb ass with a backhoe can break the internet.

Thanks. I am holding out hope that some tech guy who does web sites is also a D-Rats fan and knows how to do this stuff. WinLink seems to have a political action group that converted a bunch o the Red Cross forms for FLDigi as well as designing really nice ARC forms with the logo, etc. It's all window dressing to appeal to Red Cross, which has certainly worked so far. Although their current national exercise (Nov 14) uses A LOT of Telnet, which is a real head scratcher for emcomm. If the internet is working on both ends, just use email...no need for ham radio.?
