I still find it extremely hard to believe and DO NOT accept it as fact. As an Electrical Engineer myself and someone who has worked with radios of various types for 40+ years, this just doesn't wash. You, your club and your national organization may do as they please. Personally, I don't even own a cell phone as I like to get away from the things when off work. I have yet to find ANYTHING that can't wait until I get home.
