All the ARRL news seems to be AFTER-the-fact "reporting,"

Thats what makes the ARRL a legitimate news source for Amateur Radio
information.

So...you are saying that ALL amateur radio information is always
late?

Whatever happened to the National Traffic System? You know,
those dittyboppers still thinking that "CW" is the bestest thing
since sliced bread?

CNN, Fox, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC are covering the California
Firestorms in real time, "live" as you civilian non-broadcasters
call it. Have ANY of those TV news services "covered" anything of
amateur radio emergency/disaster teams heroically working to
aid the public? When and where did they "work" that scene?

Feel free to report all tha news in a month, long after containment.

Not like CNN, which I am SURE you watch, that makes it up as
they go.

17 dead, over 1500 homes destroyed, over a million acres burned
(over 800 square miles), over $2 Billion in damages, and firestorms
are still raging in two major areas. One of NBC's remote vans got
caught in the fire and destroyed, crew (Chuck Henry at the mike)
saved by a fire crew. Live, on-air courtesy of another TV crew.

Hardly "making it up as they go along."

...and all you can do is mean-mouth individuals that don't love,
honor, and cherish morsemanship?

Poor Poor Lennie, he is getting worse and worse. He fails to comprehend
that professional news reporters get paid, and by golly, its their job.

The ARRL is more interested in compilling the events and accuratly reporting
the information to the amateur community. Not you Lennie, since you not a
licensed operator.

And of course the ham operators are not in the news. They hardly ever are.
Real emergency operators don't seek publicity. They are there to do a job
and don't have time for talking with paid reporters. They are much too busy
trying to save lives.

As for your 'swipe' at the National Traffic System. It is fine and going
strong Lennie. I operate both SSB and CW sessions on a nightly basis. Not
to mention my Military Affiliate Radio System networks.

Tell me Lennie....what do you contribute to your community and nation?
