It's also not such a big deal for those of us who have laptops and wireless 
capabilities.  Whereas the batteries on the laptop don't necessarily last 
that long, it's long enough in most cases to be able to stay on top of 
things when we're in the direct path of a storm.  Besides, I don't know how 
it's done through out the rest of the country, but here in Muskegon, our 
skywarn net control sits at his/her house and watches the radar, and they do 
it over the internet.  Taking a chance I know, but it's how we do things 
here.  This would be very useful to us especially when you consider that the 
primary back up frequency in case of repeater failure here is a repeater 
that right now is having major antenna issues.
