Yes

OK, folks, every one of you who accepted food or lodging in the course of
participating in an emergency communications incident is guilty of
violating FCC
rules.

If the Red Cross or Salvation Army (btw, why is there no Salvation Navy)
provided you with some identification garment like a hat or t-shirt, you
must
return the garment to the issuing agency. If you have lost or damaged
the
garment you must reimburse the RC/SA for the fair market value of the
garment.

You should file amended state and federal tax returns accounting for the
value
of the freebie meals/lodging/refreshments/transportation which was
provided to
you in the course of your volunteer assignment, with copies to all FCC
Commissioners who will review your fitness to continue to hold your
Amateur
Radio license.

Or not.

Of course, if you reverse the wording, it makes the thing all make more
sense.

You volunteer for something, but they insist you wear a tshirt and hat,
and you MUST pay for it.

They won't provide food, so you've got to pay for it, even though you will
be in a situation where you can't easily bring lunch from home, and don't
have a wide selection of choices.

Then they will bill you for lodging.

Either way, you end up with less than when you started even accounting for
being able to deduct them on your income taxes.

Well, at least the esteemed ham from Canookia used English words. The esteemed
old_friend from Michigan used words from an unknown language.

Maybe, perhaps, and non-pecuniary of course, you can find someone who
would fund you to go away--I mean, hell!, just maybe the arrl is on to
something here and we can all make a buck while doing something which
would be done anyway! Ethics are such a bother anyway--and besides, they
are only for the "other guy" (read K1MAN here), certainly they don't
pertain to us "special people!"

Todd,

Up until this point, the conversation on this topic was reasoned and balanced.
But you've chosen to resort to your habitual trash mouth mode, so you can find
any further comments from me posted at http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy .

With warmest kind wishes,

Indeed this is a large problem in the ARS

CB:

Funny, but when the gov't asked for billions for "homeland defense" and
made fema and it united, I thought they would have bought some
communications equip., trained people and they would be set in place in
such a disaster--from planes, tops of tall buildings, in communication
vehicles and such--then begin communicating with hams in their local
communities to handle communications for family and other services into
that area. I never thought for a moment they would then plan, in a real
disaster, to start hiring hams--that simply sucks and demonstrates we have
been screwed.

Now we find out, they didn't even use the money to get supplies of food,
water, bedding, blankets, clothing, etc. WHICH YOU WOULD NEED IN ANY
EMERGENCY! together, how surprising, the gov't has given us a royal
screwing--ONCE AGAIN...

Not at all. I read the ARRL statement and the FCC rules. I happen to agree
that there is enough flexibility to allow meeting the travel expenses, food
expenses for those who are going down. There is no intent to "make a buck".

My point was that there is no reason to automatically assume that there is
an intent to do wrong.
