It really comes off as being yesterday's skill. A smaller antenna would
have limited range and you can talk to anybody who has, or can get to a
place that has, broad band access via Skype effortlessly. Twenty five
years ago I was looking at this stuff because my wife was from the
Philippines and it cost $1.25 per minute to talk to them on the phone.
Now they can talk on skype for free and it's a more dependable connection.
To be exact, I know one business in the Philippines that got it's hands
on a Magic Jack and, because they can plug it into the Internet, they
wound up with a US telephone connection for less than $50. They are a
local call from here in Newburgh.
The police also have a lot more sophisticated communications equipment
than they had a few years ago so I would guess that they aren't likely
to have to turn to Ham operators. And if people need to contact each
other during a disaster they can post on facebook. I now get pictures of
village festivals in the Philippines before everybody got home from it.
But in a natural disaster cell phone companies get overwhelmed. Although
land lines get jammed up too, if the people in the disaster area lose
power and the ham doesn't have backup power, his system is useless if
there is a power failure.
It seems like he wants to learn to use a cash register with a handle
that you pull to ring up the sale. There is no harm in it but why?

Also, the class is for a Technician Class license. This class license is
predominantly used for bands > 30 MHz. (In the past it was exclusively for
bands > 30 MHz). Antennas for these frequencies are small in size. The large
ham beam antennas are for 20, 15, and 10 meters. Chances are Mark's neighbor
had one of these rather than a VHF antenna and his neighbor had a higher grade
ham license than technician.
