HAM RADIO IS SHOWING ITS STUFF NOW !!!!!!
I hope you folks can give a listen to HF during this disaster. It is
amazing how Ham Radio has stepped up to the plate and is providing Communications where the Commercial infrastructure is destroyed. 7290, 7285, 14.265, 3935, 3873, 3965 and many others I am sure. I'm listening to a young lady right now with the Baptist feeding unit in Biloxi Mississippi on the Alabama net frequency of 3965 passing messages to family and friends outside of the disaster area. Such as "Daddy were alright" Don't worry have not been able to call before. And this is for you Len Anderson......take your anti-ham crap and shove it. Back to work, thanks to you all for the help you are providing. Dan/W4NTI |

This just came over 3965... On 3965, KB7BSA is with the Baptist feeding unit in Biloxi MS. She just passed this along after sending out 40 Health and Welfare messages.....

" Ham radio is all there is for communications.

This is most definitely one of those situations. But I have no doubt whatsoever that every -other- mode of communication that works, radio or not, is being used to it's fullest limitations. And for some glory seeking hams to declare themselves and their service to be the exclusive 'heros de jour' is absolutely repulsive, especially while the situation continues to erode and people continue to die. Let me make this -REAL- clear to you, Dan: It's not about ham radio or any other radio service. It's about the people that are suffering in this disaster. So instead of thumping your chest while standing on a pile of rubble and dead bodies, how about you hero-wannabe hammies show a little dignity and set aside your self-aggrandizing delusions for a little while? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I'm sorry Frank....I'm too tired to debate your idiotic comments. Ain't no one thumping chests here. I have ran several pieces of traffic from the disaster area tonight. Made the calls and I'm damn proud of Ham Radio. If you don't like it.

Yep, all those people are suffering and dying so -you- can feel good about being a ham -- you -should- be proud.

I hope you folks can give a listen to HF during this disaster. It is amazing how Ham Radio has stepped up to the plate and is providing Communications where the Commercial infrastructure is destroyed. "Commercial infrastructure" is defined as anything non-amateur? Strange, I still see rather "commercial" and "military" infrastructure radios very much at work on TV news, along with lots and lots of "infrastructure" personnel. Flood conditions high enough to inundate "commercial infrastructure" equipment will ALSO inundate amateur equipment and render it useless as well. The relief efforts in Louisiana and Mississippi are being handled by MANY, MANY different volunteers and MOST of them do not appear to be or are identified as amateur radio operators. 7290, 7285, 14.265, 3935, 3873, 3965 and many others I am sure. Those networks are operating OUTSIDE the flood regions, have NOT been inundated with flood waters. I'm listening to a young lady right now with the Baptist feeding unit in Biloxi Mississippi on the Alabama net frequency of 3965 passing messages to family and friends outside of the disaster area. Then that young lady is NOT under water and has gotten to a location that is NOT under water or destroyed (somehow, you have not specified that transport) and has the help of an amateur radio station set up for this purpose on DRY land (some place unspecified). Such as "Daddy were alright" Don't worry have not been able to call before. That is excellent service that is provided (partly) by amateur radio. "Daddy" somehow has gotten the news and that probably is completed over a telephone circuit...a telephone circuit of the evil "commercial infrastructure" that was NOT destroyed. And this is for you Len Anderson......take your anti-ham crap and shove it. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I've NEVER been "anti-ham." What I HAVE been against is the morse code test for any amateur radio license. What I HAVE been against is the braggadoccio of morse code mode over and above any other mode in effectiveness. What I HAVE been against is that morse code mode is the "only" mode possible in emergency communications. And what I HAVE been against is all you PCTA emotional retards who think/state/live the notion that U.S. amateur radio is ONLY about morse code mode, morsemanship, and neglecting the majority of licensed radio amateurs who do NOT agree with you waving the ham flag as ONLY yours and ONLY that of the morsemen. You greatly confuse all of "hamdom" as having YOUR personal opinion. You don't understand that someone having opinions contrary to YOURS does NOT act in any "anti-amateur" manner. Back to work, thanks to you all for the help you are providing. Dan, go to the grill and fork yourself. You're done. |

It is amazing how Ham Radio has stepped up to the plate and is providing Communications where the Commercial infrastructure is destroyed. "Commercial infrastructure" is defined as anything non-amateur? Agreed. Strange, I still see rather "commercial" and "military" infrastructure radios very much at work on TV news, along with lots and lots of "infrastructure" personnel. Agreed, but there's no doubt that hams are assisting in the overall process. Such assistance at least lightens the communications load on the remaining commercial infrastructure. Flood conditions high enough to inundate "commercial infrastructure" equipment will ALSO inundate amateur equipment and render it useless as well. Maybe, maybe not....depending on the portability of that equipment and how/where the ham actually has/had it when disastor stuck. The relief efforts in Louisiana and Mississippi are being handled by MANY, MANY different volunteers and MOST of them do not appear to be or are identified as amateur radio operators. 7290, 7285, 14.265, 3935, 3873, 3965 and many others I am sure. Those networks are operating OUTSIDE the flood regions, have NOT been inundated with flood waters. But they are delivering messages to and from the flood areas. I'm listening to a young lady right now with the Baptist feeding unit in Biloxi Mississippi on the Alabama net frequency of 3965 passing messages to family and friends outside of the disaster area. Then that young lady is NOT under water and has gotten to a location that is NOT under water or destroyed (somehow, you have not specified that transport) and has the help of an amateur radio station set up for this purpose on DRY land (some place unspecified). I must ask... What's the difference? Does it mean that ham radio isn't providing helpful and needed additional communications? Such as "Daddy were alright" Don't worry have not been able to call before. That is excellent service that is provided (partly) by amateur radio. "Daddy" somehow has gotten the news and that probably is completed over a telephone circuit...a telephone circuit of the evil "commercial infrastructure" that was NOT destroyed. Again, the fact that hams played a part is all that matters if the communication between father/family could not have otherwise been completed. SNIP Cheers, To those hams in the thick of the emergency...well done and keep up the good work. Cheers, Bill K2UNK |

"Commercial infrastructure" is defined as anything non-amateur? Agreed. Let me revise that. If non-amateur includes CD, FRS and GMRS then I agree. If by amateur Len is only referencing the Amateur Service (Part 97) then I disagree and would suggest the following. Commercial Infrastructure is anything other than CB, FRS, GMRS or Amateur Service.
