Polls
Hi:
Idea is to be able to create and send a poll via RF to selected stations and//or Broadcasts a Poll. Could be very basic, but the idea is to be able to send a question and get answer via RF. Think in a disaster scenario, some examples:
How many persons with injuries
How many gasoline left
Security personnel required
Potable water available
and so on... But only send one question at x intervals.
Questions could get a numeric, short string response or a multiple choice (alternatives text limited to X characters).

Hi Edfel
I do not have a clear understanding of the value and use cases.
On one hadn - Using broadcasts you have no gurentee that anyone would actually received the poll.
On the other hand - I also do not see a real value in it. the examples you provided are not something you would want to "poll" on a broadcast mode with no message guaranteed.
Even for fun - the fact that it is not "delivey guaranteed" makes it very fragile in a place where you need bullet proof stuff.
I will put this aside for now unless I hear more from the community of a fine-tuned story around it that will make sense to me.
73s and thank you for thinking on how to imptove VarAC!
