"Which HF+ Transceiver is Best for Emergency Use?
George Fisher (W0QU) on September 14, 2005

I work for a company with 90,000 employees, about 4,500 here in the corporate office. I've found half a dozen hams among us. Yesterday one of them asked what 'all mode' HF+ transceiver with power, and what antenna would best be used if we can convince the company to provide space for a ham station which could be used in emergencies. This would be non-commercial traffic of course. We hope to align with the local police department and perhaps get a couple of officers licensed.

What would you suggest for the best combination of new equipment and antenna which could be mounted on the roof (8 floors high), within a reasonable budget, to accomplish this? "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
