Sure. But even code-free, get people to pass the test. Heck, even get people interested in it. How many clubs are going to set up next month in a way that they interest the public in their FD activities?

And, if power goes down, you need a generator, solar or wind system or a car to stay on the air. (Or a really big go-bag full of charged batteries for the HT.)

When industry, mainly sales, figures out that "internet down" means bankruptcy, they'll start working on redundancy down to the "last mile" .
