Uh Oh, Lennie...More Bad News...!!!
 

I guess someone should have told the Governor that all that stuff he
just lauded Amateurs for never happens, that cell-sites never fail,
that every Public Service employee using the "company radio" is more
valuable than trained Amateurs, and that his Proclamation was just a
self-serving waste of time that only perpetuates the "mythos" of
Amateur Radio's public service role...?!?!

Naaaaaahhhhh...Let's all enjoy the moment and wish our congrats
to all WI Hams...

Lennie..."I am laughing at the superior intellect...! ! !

For the system to work, you need hams outside the disaster area to talk
to the
hams in the disaster area....

It doesn't matter, Robert...Lennie and PuppetBoy have been left
with their fly's open once again, and they'll be digging hard to try
and "spin" their collective way out of this, yet another glaring
example of Lennie's "mythos" rants against Amateur Radio.

The programs specifically cited about in the Proclamation are the
same programs in every State of the Union.

I'm "laughing at the superior intellect" once again.
