Here's a quote from John C. Dvorak's "Inside Track" column in this
week's PC Magazine:

"... Whatever the case, the most overlooked participants in the Katrina
relief effort were the ham radio folks, who were doing whatever they
could as ad hoc emergency dispatchers, creating their own network
within the system. These dedicated persons pride themselves on their
ability to do worldwide communications under adverse conditions, and
the ARRL (Amateur [sic] Radio Relay League) and its members, as well as
others, were a big part of the aid effort. Of course since amateur
radio is anything but trendy in today's XBox, gene-splicing world,
there was zero coverage of its contribution in the mainstream press,
and these people are not the worlds greatest self promoters. At least
some of us are paying attention. Good work guys! Bush should be giving
medals to you all."

That's a damned nice thing of John to say.

The NRA's American Rifleman featured a much different slice of the
relief effort.

This just really gets up lenniepoo's nose, hams doing a real job of
providing comms during a disaster and he can't be a part of it.

Why would you say such a thing?

This just really gets up lenniepoo's nose, hams doing a real job of
providing comms during a disaster and he can't be a part of it. Even if
he had a license he would only get in the way attempting to impress
someone with all his 'claimed' Army radio operating skills. Now watch
him make an attempt to poo-poo all the work the hams did during the
Katrina disaster.

Why couldn't he?

It's absolutely true.

Your "mentor" has called any "self-promotion" of Amateur Radio
disaster communications everything EXCEPT an outright lie.

Lennie has point blank stated that the "professionals" have all
the talent, all the equipment, all the training and infrastructure to
carry the ball in ANY disaster situation.

Any suggestion that Amatuers are included in or support emergency
communications, direct or otherwise, is immediately subjected to one of
his "Mighty Morsemen", "when nothing gets through" rants.

And once again, he's been proven wrong.

As have you.

Absolutely. And "too true" !

And that was...?!?!

He can do any damned thing he wants. This is America after all.

But the question is "why would he?"

It's absolutely true.

You sure have been spinning up a lot of lies lately.

It's too bad that you read it that way. There were probably no cell
phones in use either, right?

And once again, he's been proven wrong.

So many lies in such a short span of time...

Back to the "Old Steve," I see.

Well...thanks for admitting that.

Seems you and Lennie have forgot...Maybe you're coming around.

But the question is "why would he?"

The same answer remains, Brian. You re-quoted it yourslef in the
following.

It's absolutely true.

You sure have been spinning up a lot of lies lately.

Not a one.

Oh...?!?!

And just HOW is one supposed to "read" it, Brian...?!?!

There were probably no cell phones in use either, right?

South of Meridian, Mississippi...?!?!

Precious few!

And once again, he's been proven wrong.

As have you.

Steve, K4YZ

What lies?

Back to the "Old Steve," I see.

You mean the one who makes fun of Lennie the Liar, and his
personal handpuppet, Brian P Burke...?!?!

He never left. He just let YOU play out your "I'll be a nice guy
if you will" card.

You lost.

Maybe because it is true?
