Some stupid Solar Eclipse thing

[RyanZ71]

So with this lame eclipse thing that is going to happen soon, they are apparently calling out ham radio operators and clubs up here in the northern states to help emergency management by "patrolling" (I use that term loosely) many of the highways where they expect extremely heavy traffic such as along 287 here in Colorado leading up to Wyoming. Cell phone coverage isn't the best, so a good use of ham radio resources, however- I think everyone is getting a bit too excited over something like an eclipse. After all- They've been happening for thousands of years. Big deal. Whoopie. *yawn*

$100 per nite for a campsite with no hookups? No wonder they opted for the middle of the farmer's field!
