[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2408927, member: 24583"] If they were "written" messages, that is referred to as "traffic handling". Last major event I am familiar with was Katrina. Suppose you were concerned about "Aunt Martha" who lived down in that area, you can not connect with her by cell or landline. You contact the Red Cross and as for a health and well being report. That information was passed to a ham operator (most in a several sate area were sent to a friend of mines back room in his house in Tulsa) That operator contacted someone direct down close to the affected area on the HF long distance frequencies. That person then contacted someone through a repeater system on their 2m mobile radio. That person then relayed the request to someone in the area in a car, boat, or walking down the street who knocked on "Aunt Martha's" door, confirmed her condition, and a message was sent back through the system. The Red Cross had an answer for you that Aunt Martha was OK. If I remember correctly various operators in shifts passed over 20 thousand pieces of information from his radio. [/QUOTE]
