Thanks for this topic. I'm an amateur radio operator also (General class) and have been nagging my wife for several years to at least get her Techincian Class license. I'm calling her in now to read this thread so she'll see I'm not the only one who thinks hubby and wife both having an additional means of communication during an emergency is a good idea.

I'm really interested everyone's ideas on this topic as it has been an area of concern in our planning.

Regards,
Michael
