subject matter for a journal or symposium paper
It's a bit dated now since I wrote it in 2008 for a Symposium paper and it was reprinted in CQ VHF magazine ... I wrote a paper about satellites in EMCOM:
I still have a copy stashed at: http://home.comcast.net/~k9jkm/CQVHF_Eagle_ACP_Emcomm.pdf
This paper assumes a few things like we have an Eagle Phase IV GEO satellite. It is written to tie multiple components of a national level incident command system response up to being able to allow several incidents to communicate with a unified command at a national level. While the intrepid ham with HT and go=pack is key to local emergency response a GEO satellite wasn't what was needed to call in tornado reports within the county.
Now Clayton can really sleep better after reading this! Probably fall asleep reading it, but ahem, I digress ...
