Over the weekend I heard an account of the communications breakdown in New Orleans. Ham radio effectiveness was diminished because of a shortage of "pre-positioned" generators. What I've learned from this thread is that integrating Asterisk and ham radio is feasible and potentially useful. I also learned that essential infrastructure - repeaters - are softening assets. What's more, google hits for "asterisk ham" have increased significantly and become useful. This thread comes up #3 on Google.
