Dan/W4NTI wrote: Just what do you consider "VITAL COMMS" ??? as i have said Vital ops are those that can't be handled by other means, the failure of which to get through will cause substancail harm to many people or additonal damage to infrastructure So....none of the examples given by me or others in here is considered vital comms to you. Well I am sure those that needed the messages send, and those that got them considered them vital. I will give you one more example of how ham radio got the job done, when NOTHING ELSE WORKED. My city, Anniston Alabama wanted to donate several Police Vehicles to the city of Waveland MS. The city manager made several attempts to contact the city in MS. NO WAY COULD HE GET THROUGH. The city manager here knew a city employee was a Ham operator. He asked him if he could help. He picked up the message and gave it to me, since he was working at the time. I passed that message within an hour. A day went by, no return call. That evening on the regular Alabama Traffic Net I asked our member KB7BSA who was in Biloxi if she could get someone into Waveland and see if they need the Police cars. She not only did just that, but did it herself by traveling to the town, found the Chief of Police. He is sending people to pick them up today. Do you think the people of Waveland are going to be happy that they now have Police patrolling their town once again? Is that vital? Or could a CB done it? Or GMRS ? Or carrier Pidgeon???? Since the post the post you are quoting I have heard of some lifesavinng messgae but would stand behind the revised assertion that most of the ARS traffic is H&W with some life saving traffic in the mix OK, I get it now. Next Communication Emergency we will have you set up the allowed traffic list. But what I am seeing described is retail aid, in a disater of wholescale proprotions important but not vital Retail aid? What the heck is that? What traffic is being passed by the ARS that would affect the headlines in this disaster, the only headlines that would be affected are the one mentioning us by name Who gives a damn about headlines. Those that respond in this situation are looking to get the job done. Not your approval. Vital comms I have been informed that the ARS can normaly allow to be complied list of people in the shelters of the affected areas, I hear from SecHS mouth that no such list yet exists after how many days Well Mr. Know it all....The RED CROSS is responsible for getting the lists at the Shelters. Then passing them as they see fit. The hams are there to COMMUNICATE ....NOT MAKE POLICY. Indeed I can recall being regalled with how Cw would rise to pass large volumes of traffic for us in a disater such as this When traffic is passed via the Region nets it is passed by CW. CW is being used for H&W. I already told you this. Lets get some specifics here . Then we shall see the Ham community tear you a new one. Why BTW is someone holding the opinion that th ARS operations in Katrina are important and valueble but not al though vital such a threat to your ego? A threat to my ego? All I am doing is TRYING to explain to that hole between your ears that Ham Radio is doing something good here. But you simply refuse to believe it because you are in a RF hole in Upper Michigan. Get you attitude adjusted. the ARS is doing better than I expected out of this, but not at all as well as we have been lead to believe it could do See what I mean? Even when you are shown what the Hams are doing, you doubt it. YOU ARE ONE PARANOID SCREWBALL. Dan/W4NTI |

Dan/W4NTI You're aurging with an imbecile who along with some others just can't face the fact that ham radio is playing a very important role in emergency comms in this disaster and they don't have the ability, skills, knowledge, or sense to be a part of it. The local media here has done several spots about local hams being involved, and yesterday a group were getting ready to deploy to the affected area to set up more equipment. Roger that......"Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up" syndrome....hi hi. Dan/W4NTI |

If you are going to critizse my use of languae you should try to do better yourself But guessing at the details "Well I am sure those that needed the messages send those that got them considered them vital." No I don't I see them as important, valueble, not vital, wether the persons involved thought so matters little as they are not in a position to be objective I will give you one more example of how ham radio got the job done, when NOTHING ELSE WORKED.

Do you think the people of Waveland are going to be happy that they now have Police patrolling their town once again? Is that vital? Or could a CB done it? Or GMRS ? Or carrier Pidgeon???? not vital, and by the desciption I suspect that a carrier pigeon might have done better, said pigeon would flown to waveland and not required a repeat, as would have simply driving one of the police cars that Anniston was prepared to send Since the post the post you are quoting I have heard of some lifesavinng messgae but would stand behind the revised assertion that most of the ARS traffic is H&W with some life saving traffic in the mix OK, I get it now. Next Communication Emergency we will have you set up the allowed traffic list. never said or suggested that the traffic sent was improper, just I see the traffic passed as less important than you, which is not to say unimportant. But what I am seeing described is retail aid, in a disater of wholescale proprotions important but not vital Retail aid? What the heck is that? a metaphor which obviously you are not bright enough to follow What traffic is being passed by the ARS that would affect the headlines in this disaster, the only headlines that would be affected are the one mentioning us by name Who gives a damn about headlines. Those that respond in this situation are looking to get the job done. Not your approval. Never said it required it Indeed like Dave and Stevie you insist on adding your own meaning to what I say, to point you fabricate statements Vital comms I have been informed that the ARS can normaly allow to be complied list of people in the shelters of the affected areas, I hear from SecHS mouth that no such list yet exists after how many days cut you want to try responding to what I am saying instead of making fabrication let me know |

No Dan you are flaming me for not taking your view of just How important that role is Never said Ham wasn't doing somethinggood, never said it at all, merely have stated that I don't see the value of that service as being as high as you do. Saying that something isn't vital isn't saying something isn't good, despite your instance to that effect It's Got nothing to do with the fact I can't realy hear both side of any of the traffic, I can hear NO ok but ofcourse not a word from the stations answering them, mostly becuase either the prop is just wrong to them or they are using beams and I am behind the reflector element He needs an "opti-rectomy" to sever that nerve that runs from his ahole to his eyes that gives him that crappy outlook on life. ah Buzz your normal jerk hood but at least you cut enough from Dan crap to maybe respond to. perhaps he will even read it before turning the flame thrower back on |
