ARRL has no FIRE for sale?
As of 1300 EST on 27 Oct 03, the ARRL news page has not one
word about the many fires in California which have consumed a quarter million acres (half the land area of Rhode Island), over 500 homes destroyed, over 11 dead, now in its 5th day. Over 5000 firemen are deployed and personnel and equipment from six western states are arriving to help firefighters in an area from Ventura County to the Mexican border. Where are all the "emergency ham teams" who are supposed to jump like minutemen into all the disaster work? All the ARRL news page has on it are a single "In Brief" squib about "Montana hams receive recognition" for the long-past Montana wildfires. PAST news. The nice comfy northereasterners apparently don't recognize much of the western states of the USA, hardly have in the past. They only consider hurricanes and floods as emergencies...because those things happen in the east. Nice "representation of all" by the League? Yup, there's the premier amateur radio communications outfit sitting up there in Newington with the Internet at its disposal (not to mention W1AW) and can't get the word out. Too busy being "representative for all amateurs?" Lots of nice newsy stuff elsewhere, especially localized along the east coast. Center of population for the USA is well WEST of the Mississippi and California has the greatest population of any state in the Union and on par in population with all of Canada. Apparently "6-land" doesn't exist in the thinking of new englanders. LHA |

We all know that California is there - but we try not to dwell on it too much. Most likely, you are not hearing news reports by hams in the west because they are currently too busy doing something useful. One pattern I've noted over the years is that reporting of ham involvement in emergencies generally has a significant time-lag. I'm not saying that this is good or bad; I'm just saying that that's how it generally goes. P.S.

Jim,
Len should subscribe to our newspaper. Late sports info is printed *two* days later. He may not understand that it takes time for information to be collected and printed (even if only on the internet). I only wish that my worst problems were the ARRL and CW vs no code. LOL.

While I can't get much reach outside of NVIS' 300 km radius from these hills, I didn't hear anything on any HF ham band nets. They are "doing something useful" just like they did in the 1994 Northridge quake...getting the hell out...MOST LIKELY. One pattern I've noted over the years is that reporting of ham involvement in emergencies generally has a significant time-lag. I'm not saying that this is good or bad; I'm just saying that that's how it generally goes. Radio waves propagate at faster than 180 thousand miles per second, dumbass. Are all these "emergency workers" getting organized by mean old telephone landline? Don't they know that "telephones always fail during emergencies and disasters?" [they are always saying that in here] P.S. Is it really true that they call California the "cereal bowl state" because once you get past all the fruits and nuts, the only thing left are the flakes? No. California has a tremendous agribusiness that feeds most of the western, mountain, and middle western states.

Maybe that's why ARRL membership remains a minority of all licensed US radio amateurs (only a quarter).

As of 1 PM EST on the 27th of October the ARRL website news page had NOTHING about the California wildfires. NOTHING. That's right. They had NOTHING. Yet a could of hours later, they had SOMETHING. SOMETHING. Go "munch" someone else's shoes, preferrably some CROW as dessert. I'm not the one who took the potshot at amateur radio and the ARRL only to have it blow up in his face. Rest of Len's typical ARRL bashing snipped. Hasn't Len made it clear on any number of occasions that he is not anti-ARRL? ARRL is an EASTERN headquartered organization, more specifically in the northeastern USA. There are many WESTERN headquartered organizations. Is it your opinion that all organizations should be headquartered near the center of population? If not, why the fuss? ARRL doesn't seem to recognize that MOST of the USA lives WEST of the Mississippi...including licensed US radio amateurs. It doesn't seem that way to me. Directors are representative of the areas in which they live. Why should you be concerned? You aren't involved with the ARRL. I'm not "anti-ARRL." Your frequent statements about the League would indicate otherwise. Would you care to see a few of them googled up? I'm just showing what they are and what they are NOT. What they are NOT is NOT "representing ALL amateurs." How are you "showing" anything? You aren't involved. ARRL is eastern-oriented, almost obsessively so in concentration east of the Mississippi. Not my problem. It's ARRL's problem. No, your errors are your problem. You've gone from making statements about an EASTERN headquarted organization to stating that the ARRL is eastern-oriented. You keep trying to make an issue of something which is not an issue. Maybe that's why ARRL membership remains a minority of all licensed US radio amateurs (only a quarter). Only a quarter? What other amateur radio organization has more than a fraction of that number making up its membership? All the ARRL "represents" is its membership...but mostly it is the executives and staff and board of directors of the ARRL that is represented. AARP claims to represent retirees. The American Legion claims to represent veterans. Labor unions claim to represent workers. The NAACP claims to represent colored people. Membership has to fall in line with that or be excommunicated. If those words came from anyone else, I'd say that they were an error. Since they come from you, I say they're a deliberate untruth. To bad about your demotion in the United States Morse Codists (USMC). You deserved it, though. Enjoy. Take your lithium. Dave K8MN |

Go back a day to message that started this thread. ARRL had NO mention of the already- widespread California firestorms up to 1 PM EST. Have you learned to READ yet? Or are you still unable to cope with reality? LHA Poor Lennie, not only caught in a lie, but now trying to cover it up. Not good for a Electronical Mechanic there Lennie. Dan/W4NTI |
"Len Over 21" wrote in message All the ARRL news seems to be AFTER-the-fact "reporting," LHA Thats what makes the ARRL a legitimate news source for Amateur Radio information. Not like CNN, which I am SURE you watch, that makes it up as they go. Dan/W4NTI |
"charlesb" wrote in message m... "Len Over 21" wrote in message ... That "news copy" was on the ARRL website opening page. There is NO corroboration of that information with any other commercial news service. Gee, what an ignorant asshole! Charles Brabham, N5PVL A world class DIP****. Dan/W4NTI |

Tsk, tsk, tsk. 5 1/2 days. Then, suddenly, "news" appears on ARRL that Something Is Happening Out West...a bit over two hours after I posted a No News Statement. It is obvious that someone from HQ--probably that pesky Ed Hare--saw your post and quickly threw something together for the ARRL web site, just to make you look silly. Dave K8MN Could be Dave, but I think not. Lennie does a great job of showing how silly he is all by himself. He must be a lonely old man. With nothing to do in life but wait around to die. And in the meantime annoy as many folks as possible. He obviously hates ham radio. Probably because his 'higher' in the military was a ham and made Lennie look silly......you think so? Dan/W4NTI |

Never had any problems with FBI, IRS, etc. on any government agency corroborations of past service records. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you should read ALL the pages at NARA's website, not just the headlines. Give yourself another title again. LHA |

Dan/W4NTI More likely because he couldn't pass the test for a ham licnese. Yes. True. I went to the FDA and they could only certify me as beef. :-) I traveled 85 miles by rail to Chicago back in '56 (no snow that March, kept my shoes on, no significant hills) and took a REAL test ONCE. At an FCC field office in the Federal Building there. Passed a First Phone test in one session. Only one of the four parts of the test was multiple choice. I'd send you a digitized image of that first First Phone license if you had a real Internet address. But, you have no identity. LHA |
