Points Of Perception...What Do YOU Call "Collateral Damage"...?!?!
Radio Amateur KC2HMZ wrote in message . ..
The code test will soon vanish, and then hopefully we can get around to the business of repairing the collateral damage that's been done to the ARS in the process. "Collateral damage", John...??? You've been watching too much CNN. You wouldn't be talking about the "damage" created by the influx of over a quarter of a million NON-code licensees, would you? Or would that be by the "damage" created by Amateur volunteers in the last 80+ years that has earned Amateur Radio the respect and hearldry bestowed upon it by the American Red Cross, the Deaprtment of State, the Department of Defense, the Salvation Army, FEMA, etc etc etc...??? (Not to mention mentions in the Federal Register and accolades rendered on the House and Senate floor) Perhaps you were alluding to the "damage" created by the creation of a radio repeater net that has withstood fire, flood, maelstrom and terrorist attack...Is THAT the "damage" you were refering to? I heard all the "complaints" about it from about two dozen New York and New Jersey emergency response groups from all the "trouble" they created in September 2001...You should read all the things some of those guys had to say about Amatuer Radio! Maybe you meant the "damage" created by the fact that we are (generally) self-policing and allowed by the FCC to mentor our own? I don't see the commercial services being allowed to do this, but I guess I am missing something... Or I guess you were refering to the "damage" caused by the interruption of our schools by such programs as ARISS and SAREX...??? I can see how taking little Johnny and Mary away from recess to chat wwith orbiting astronauts might inhibit thier imaginations... And I guess we sure got our "come-uppance" when we were allocated new bands on HF in the last 20 years. Otherwise, I haven't got a clue of what you were alluding to...And I doubt YOU did either, John. Steve, K4YZ |

(Brian) wrote in message . com... Talking to yourself again? By the way, Your Scumminess, I see you re-quoted my entire post, yet could not (or would not try) to dispute (...challenge..?!?!) any of the points I made. And I still notice that John has rolled up his carpet and gone away again. Kinda hard to stand the light, I guess........ Steve, K4YZ Steve, John is mere avoiding a crazy man who talks to himself in between episodes of playing RRAP Avenging Angel. |
