sure has
like I said does not bode well for in the spectrum wars
Welp, some didn't have a clue what our standing with the FCC actually
was.
to be honest I thought with the press we have gooten we had more than
it seems we do
Perhaps the chest-thumpers only made it seem like there was a lot of
good press.
it iwas about the only good pess coming out of the disater at times
I wonder why that was? Most of the press wouldn't be able to stand
themselves if they reported on any positive aspects of the relief
efforts.
This isn't to say that the volunteers didn't perform a
needed service or perform it well.
needed certainly but truly how well did they do? I listened to some of
it clearly the voltoteers were hampered by the fact the govt had
colapsed in the area.
This was a point lost on the Extra-elites of RRAP. For them, amateur
radio's role is to support their government masters. I asked again and
again what did Joe Average have to communicate with? Who was
supporting Joe Average?
So, with the government collapsed in NO, who did the amateurs (that
were trained to support the government) support?
I caught an no ham story about a sheriff
hijacking a truckload of FEMA ice for his town that was just siting 6
day later at an ari base.
I heard about tons and tons of ice being driven all over the USA for no

inproved for some future disaster on this scale

but we know the chest thumpers will not allow
Never do.
