But seriously, I think it's really neat (and handy in almost any situation) to be able to talk to someone 25 miles away regardless of cell phone plans or outages etc. I understand that 25 miles is probably not going to happen, but even if I could get 5-10 (maybe I need to go to the highest hill in the area), that would be enough to check in with local family or friends in the event of an outage.
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
