This (the link) is the most offensive thing I have ever seen towards ham
radio in my 34 years as a ham. Thank to Chris for printing the URL.

To me, it equates to someone standing on the ruins of the WTC on Sept
12th, and flipping the bird to ham radio.

Sept 12th is important because by then, ham operators had already put in
24 hours of non-stop, volunteer, world-class operation.

Anyone who says differently about ham radio, GFY.

Hey, are you that blind? Read the whole article. It ends with the
following
statement:

"Founded in 1948, UTC represents the telecommunications interests of
electric and gas utilities, water companies, gas pipelines and other
critical
infrastructure entities, along with their technology partners."

Of course it's one sided trash. That's the whole point of the organization
that wrote it!
