and sometimes the agencies were simply not satified with the degree of
control they had over us in those ops. and example I can point to is
Sprifnfield IL, where the IEMa director got ****ed that a ham operator
cut him off, when he want to rip one of his subordinates a new one with
many "colorfull metaphors", the ham control op cut the radio and tried
to explain that he can't say stuff like that on Ham radio

As he should have.

I agree

Hams have been largely excluded in Illinois from emergency planing
since that event)things may have been patched up by now Todd might know
more about that than I anymore

Can you post some proof to back that up?

Proof no the incident occoured before I was licensed It was first
related to me, by K0HMO, then president of the SVRC, a very similar
story was also related to me by other 2 Hams and A Magor of the IL NG

Todd I believe, was involved in an effort to try to patch things up,
and has related to me a close version of the same story


The Red Cross seems to have a case of the dumb arse when using Amateur
Radio. They apparently don't know what to do with us. So your story does
not surprise me at all.
