In article m, "Dee D. Flint"
writes: "William" wrote in message You and Dee simply cannot accept that an unlicensed service has played a major role in emergency comms. I have never refused to accept the role of unlicensed services but I do not let that blind me to the fact that amateur radio continues to play a significant role. Define "significant role." That's an emotionally-loaded indefinite adjective designed to state an opinion rather than any quanitifed value. It is very useful to membership organizations in trying to get new members by appeals to their personal need for recognition. You are the one who cannot accept the fact that amateur radio continues to play a major rule in emergency comms. Such as...? Define "major role" by general terms of reference, NOT from the League's point of view. Go to any newspaper or broadcasting archive and research the above assertation before stating it again (incorrectly). Amateur radio COULD play a major role and it MIGHT do so at some future time. It just hasn't done so in the mass media. My position is and has always been that we need as many different forms of communication as possible. That is very true. That has also been used as a rationale to continue morse code testing for U.S. radio amateurs. According to the tRoll yodelings in here, morse code has been the base rock, the cornerstone of his imaginary world of "emergencies." No one can predict what services will or will not be knocked out in the next emergency. That INCLUDES amateur radio. Try to remember that last sentence in FULL reality. LHA / WMD |
