[OhQP-mail] EOC category

[Steve Lewis]

Emcomm happens from places other than the ARES-designated EOC. (Says the 
orange badge-waving ARES appointee.)

I can't imagine it is the intent of the rules to *not* leverage "class 
F" for designated stations at Red Cross regions/chapters, Salvation Army 
(ie SATERN), state police bunkers (Massachusetts, distant by germane to 
the topic), and hospital systems.

My $.02.
