Q. For which levels of government infrastructure may a professional communicator participate on behalf of an employer in unlimited emergency preparedness or disaster readiness testing and drilling.
A. For all levels of government: federal, state, county, municipal, foreign, etc, without time limits, unless they involve communications for RACES training. Non-RACES government sponsored testing and drilling can be conducted any time, with priority over amateur service communications. Read Section 97.101(c).

He mentions DHS in all this, but he's quick to point out that ALL levels of gubbmint can take over our freqs at any time they damned well want to.
Makes my blood boil.

Yah, they're gonna have to pry my cold fingers away from my beloved rad-did-ios.
In the meantime, I need to find a way to convert my 12v power supply to, lessee, about 660 volts should do it. No antennas necessary.
