'I am ashamed tonight that I am a *Republican!' remarked one ham radio viewer. '[Romney] speaks in derogatory *tones about hams. He certainly shows an ignorance as to what we do and are *capable of. I suggest a grass roots campaign of local hams calling the State *House and The Governor's Office *to protest.' It's not ignorance - he's clearly in Motorola's back pocket, to take away whatever ham spectrum he can to give to the big communications cartels. All in the name of "emergency response", of course, but anyone who can add up a couple bandwidths knows that the real need is to give it to the cellphone companies. The ARRL has to kind of pussyfoot around these issues because you can't have hams being against the communications cartels as long as "emergency responder radio" spectrum is their trump card.
