I need to change the text of our Team Profile. In it we state that we all carry pagers and have a shared number that beeps everyone.

Well, pagers are also going the way of the beta videotape. We turned in our last pager just last week.

In Maryland, and especially since September 2001, there have been very few large searches. Even my Dog Team friends are saying they get more cadaver call outs than high urgency large search scenarios. And horses are called out after dogs (until I can convince folks to call us at the same time).

My point is that my team members felt the cost (paid personally by each member) wasn't being justified. So we've moved our primary contact number to that of a cell phone (mine) with text/e-mail messaging. I'll let you know how it works (just as soon as someone has need of us).
