AMATEUR DONATIONS NEEDED
 
Long Island Mobile Amateur Radio Club (LIMARC), is looking for DONATIONS of
"Ham" gear, like triband beams, rigs, and towers, to be used for our Emergency
Communication Stations, and Field Day.

If you have any old equipment that you're not using anymore, and would like to
donate it to our cause, we will make sure that you get a nice letter, being
that we have 503 c(3) status with the I.R.S. ,for a tax deduction, from our
club.
We really need your help, so please try to assist us in any way that you can.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Oh yes, pull the other one. If anyone wants to send me a new shack I'll
promise to send a post card. Emergency work should be left to professionals
paid to do the job. They can quite often do without people getting under
their feet and in the way! There is an amateur/CB group in the UK that
causes a bit of annoyance like that, people must just like dressing up as
pretend police men. The public take absolutely no notice, and
amateurs/CBers don't either.

The world is a very big place, Ian and not all of it is the UK. Some
of us out here in the real world belong to volunteer groups that have
memoranda of understanding with our served organizations and we
practice and drill with them regularly. This is especially true here
in North America where there are areas that are often hit with
extremely severe weather. Some of us are even those "paid
professionals". In fact, most of the fire protection in the US is
provided by volunteers. Unpaid professionals, as it were. Paid
professional fire departments are usually only found in large cities
and densely populated suburban areas.

My first-year composition professor's advice rings especially true
here - "write what you know".

I'm sorry your situation is so poor over there. Believe me, it
doesn't have to be that way. It's possible to train the amateur
operators properly (so they know how to provide useful communications,
and how _not_ to get in the way and make things worse), and set up
official well-understood arrangements by which amateurs can provide
useful-and-sometimes-critical backup communications. This role as
emergency communicators is, in fact, a big part of the legal
justification for amateur radio as written into U.S. law.

In my own city, the amateur emergency-communication group is
affiliated with the city fire department - most of us are sworn in as
volunteers with the FD, and have had background checks run and photo
IDs issued. The ARES/RACES radio shack is in the Police & Fire
administration building, we've got perhaps a half-dozen antennas up on
their towers, the city provides a substantial budget for the purchase
and upkeep of amateur radios and the necessary equipment and antennas,
we have amateur-radio antennas pre-staged on all of the city fire
stations and at the hospitals, and have a good working relationship
with the city emergency services manager. We run drills every
quarter, have training classes once a month, and encourage amateurs to
become involved with their community CERT groups (for which the city
provides free emergency-response training classes). A lot of other
cities do as much, or more.

In an emergency (e.g. earthquake, a big issue around here!) it's very
likely that the number of trained amateur-radio communicators our
group can activate will exceed the total number of police officers and
firemen. We might even double their number - a lot of the public
safety officers live an hour's drive or more outside the city and may
not be able to get to work for _days_ after an earthquake.

I can't say that I particularly care for the monthly "please send us
your equipment" capital-letters boilerplate posting you're responding
to... but the poster's motives and justifications are not as suspect
as you seem to feel, I think.

In the US the hams are not doing the actual emergency work. We are used to
provide communications for the services. Without power or the ability of
some services to communicate with others or long range communications , the
'professional services' tend to need help in communicating.

As someone else pointed out , in many areas of the country the volunteers
are all we have for fire protection and emergency medical service and
transportation. I live in a rural area and appreciate the ones that provide
this service. It may or may not be as good as a paid service but it is all
I have .

Got data or just rehashing AM talk shows? Somehow I don't recall
anything sky-rocketing in Canada, let alone violent crime, but then
again, I've been away for five years - is anyone still alive there? As
for the US, the crime rate cycle closely follows the economy.

I threw it away after reading. As I remember, crime in the US is
down 35% while crime in the UK is up 35%. Canada and Australia
were also mentioned as having increasing crime rates along with
their increasingly restrictive gun laws.

Even in the US, the highest crime rates are the states that have
the strictest gun laws. If you were a criminal, would you rather
break into a house in New York City or Dallas?

While I was living near Phoenix, "The Phoenix Sun" reported that
an attempted robbery using a knife at a local Circle-K was foiled
by an ordinary customer who was carrying a concealed weapon. "First
Freedom" magazine carries about ten similar reports per month where
the good guys' guns foil the bad guy's violent crimes. But apparently
that is not newsworthy enough for the liberal newspapers.

On another note, the local Madisonville Meteor carried the following
story. "C.G. was arrested for not driving without a license." :-)

Well, I'd be extremely skeptical about this type of "statistics". For
one, I am sure they were not comparing the same periods, and there are
numerous tricks available for anyone who is attempting to prove anything
with statistical figures. Take, for example, the US 35% reduction in
crime rate. It is more than likely that this figure was achieved by
comparing the crime rate from the peak of a recession to its bottom. The
US crime rate always faithfully follows the economy - employed people
don't have to resort to crime. No connection to the CCW whatsoever. What
about the "increasing crime rate" in the UK or Canada? CCW has never
been legal in these countries to begin with, yet both countries have the
crime rate ten times lower than the US. I bet the mag never raised that
issue.

Even in the US, the highest crime rates are the states that have
the strictest gun laws. If you were a criminal, would you rather
break into a house in New York City or Dallas?


That's not how it works. A criminal in Dallas doesn't wake up one day
and decide to break into a house, following up with a visit to the local
library to do research on where he's less likely to get shot, then
catching a bus to Big Apple. Also, the crime rate - gun law strictness
comparison is a common post hoc fallacy. Is it possible that the
relationship is inverse: because those states have the highest crime
rates, they instituted the strictest gun laws?

While I was living near Phoenix, "The Phoenix Sun" reported that
an attempted robbery using a knife at a local Circle-K was foiled
by an ordinary customer who was carrying a concealed weapon.


It happens. However, this type of testimonial evidence proves little.
I'm not sure that as a neutral bystander I'd like to be in the middle of
a shoot-out between the criminals and armed civilians. Even the police
makes numerous mistakes in these types of situations, and we are to
believe that any Joe Blow is capable of handling a situation where even
the cops call for backup first.

"First Freedom" magazine carries about ten similar reports per month where
the good guys' guns foil the bad guy's violent crimes.


I'm sure they do. If I were the editor of a magazine pandering to the
gun owners, I'd do the same, while completely ignoring the negative
aspects.

But apparently
that is not newsworthy enough for the liberal newspapers.


"Liberal", as usual being defined as anything a person calling himself a
conservative hates in a given moment? A friendly reminder: fat-ass
hypocrite AM talk show drug addicts don't get to define liberalism and
liberals, especially not with their hate propaganda.

The BBC reports that violent crimes reported to the police were up 14% in
the UK last year, but a more accurate survey, the British Crime Report
said violent crime actually dropped 3%. Overall crime in the UK was supposed
to be stable. The old wive's tale that crime rises in proportion to the number
of
restrictive gun laws isn't born out by statistics.

This is probably because the UK doesn't consider that a crime officially
exists until someone is convicted for the crime. Thus, reported crimes
that remain unsolved don't make it into their "more accurate survey".

I'm not a conservative and didn't vote for Bush. I'm a libertarian.
I believe in as much freedom from governmental intervention as is
feasible. Republicans want to limit my social freedoms. Democrats

My offhand comment wasn't designed to turn this thread into an endless
tirade against guns by gun-haters. Guns work well for personal defense
in the hands of trained average citizens. The percentage of concealed

No sir, it's not. (and I was not trying to be confrontational either, so

So I suppose the original question remains unanswered:

They are breaking the law, yes but I see a bit of distinction here between
these people and common criminals. The criminal actively commits an illegal
act. These people retaining their firearms did not commit any act. They were
declared criminals without any action of their own.

There are crimes of commission and crimes of omission. If a law requires action
of law-abiding citizens, then inaction is a crime. The Canadian gun laws caused
the crime rate in Canada to skyrocket.

In one of those anti-gun countries, a crime is not reported as
an official crime until someone is convicted for the crime.
Unsolved crimes still on the books are not reported to the
outside world - bad for business.


That is how George Bush is "reducing" pollution in his Clear Skies
initiative -- carbon dioxide is no longer considered a pollutant.

Well, that's reasonable, since all animals create carbon
dioxide and plants need it to survive.

Typical envirowako. Doesn't even know what it is but its got "one of those
scientific names" so it must be bad. Yes, carbon dioxide is bad. You exhale
it when you breath. Do your part, help the world, quit breathing.

The latest was actually a left-wing newspaper criticizing the half
a million right-wing Canadians who refuse to register their guns.
That's half a million new crimes which, when prosecuted, will send
the Canadian crime rate out of sight.

Nope, it was carbon dioxide, one of the "greenhouse" gasses.
Did you see Algore standing out in the coldest weather in
25 years in New York City the other day warning everyone
about global warming?
