Narrow Band Emergency Messaging System

I downloaded fldigi as part of nbems.  The assistant EC and others are
advocating the use of digital modes for emergency communications.

Fldigi also runs on Mac and is native to Linux.  I can see controls with
JFW and am writing scripts to make it more accessible.  Right now, I am
just testing with the CW mode.

	I made control plus semi toggle tx and rx.

Type your message while receiving,
Then ctrl semi to begin sending 
And you can Keep typing for the next exchange

Wait, there's more!
I discovered that F10 embeds a  code for return to receive  

Type message 1 and f10
Type message 2 and f10
Type message 3 and f10
 Then control semi sends the first message and goes back to rx
Repeat for the remaining buffers

The program also controls your rig and has a logging feature. This might
not be the most accessible solution, but it's free and open source.
 
Write me off list if interested.
