Gordon, If you use that logic, then why use amateur radio at all. Just use your cell phone and you can talk to anyone, anywhere (that will answer!).
Hobby, learn, have fun, meet others with the same interests etc.... Guess something got lost along the way!

I would like to see the DSTAR users pick a REFLECTOR and use it as a
state side intercomm. How cool would that be? Some one asking the group , hey who was that in fm-- or CN--or what was the call of the guy in DN--. Look at how we could all help each other while working the birds.
Why not just use your phone? Far more reliable, far better coverage, far better battery life and a tiny fraction of the cost...
