[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3637823, member: 24583"] Well trying to be helpful here, but I think with your comments you are the one which I think has changed the context of what you have heard over the years that in general you will find we are helpful to anyone in any way we can be which is true. But what it seems you are talking about is an adverse apocalypse scenario situation which is a little different than driving up on an accident where there is no cell service or a tornado ripping thorugh and taking out normal communication methods. Many of us will be taking care of our own issues, the ones who might have time to be on the radio for providing additional help to others most likely will prioritize to help our Ham "family" first because we might not know who we are talking to or who we trust that could take advantage of us or harm us or others we know in our "family". That is a very different than the average day to day situations we help with, storm chasing, hurricane health and welfare, and like last weekend in my area the Dam Jam bicycle ride providing communications in NE Oklahoma. Yes, if you have a life threatening immediate situation, get on ham radio and we will try our best to find a way to help, but I would think anything past that, you might not be so welcome. Does that explanation help a little? [/QUOTE]
