What planet do you live on? The CB'ers started a plan called REACT
which proved to be an excellent program, is very much in use today,
and to read their plan and the ARRL EMCOM course, it is difficult to
tell the difference. Best that you should line your ducks up before
starting to shoot.

Are you telling me that if US Amateurs didn't setup an "amateur
emmcom" then no-one would get a licence ? When was that introduced ? I
worked US amateurs long before this was thought of.
Anyway, even if it is the case, why should it be inflicted on the rest
of the amateur community?
This reminds me of the hoo-ha when the CB'ers started over here in the
70's, they setup an emergency group (can't remember what it was called
now), no-one asked them to do so & it was quite unnecessary, as far as
I know it was never used & died out when the CB'ers faded into
oblivion,but it made them feel important & wanted,poor things, flying
around on their motorbikes or cars with a sign on.
