You may have to watch an online ad, but it's worth the wait. http://www.elecdesign.com/Articles/A...164/11164.html "Wait?" That EDITORIAL piece was in the 13 October 2005 issue, Jimmie. Today is 18 November. Why are you so LATE? My paper copy of Electronic Design has been sitting around for a month. It's a no-charge subscription to those IN the electronics industry; aren't you one of those? The cover feature is "Weapons of Mass Protection." Feature article is (on page 27) subtitled "Where the Homeland Security Dollars Are." Oh, I understand, you are against making a profit. An unusual attitude for someone who claims professional (for money) employment. Tsk, tsk...no wonder you won't reveal your employer's name! Your referenced EDITORIAL was written by Editor-in-Chief Mark David. If you check ED's archives, you will find another EDITORIAL of his, includes a mention of the ARRL. Editor David seems to be FOR Access BPL! Like that? :-) Sunnuvagun! bee bop |

" " "The National Guard cited antiquated communications technology-as a contributor to its delayed response. Lt. Gen. Steven Blum told USA Today that there was a shortage of high-tech radios and satellite communications gear. "We were underequipped," Blum told USA Today. "We don't need tanks and attack helicopters... but we must have state-of-the-art radios and communications." " " The Guard most certainly does need attack helicopters. That's what differentiates the Guard from "AmeriCorps." The Guard is an Armed Service. " " "The Guard has historically gotten "handmedown" equipment from active-duty military. It now uses "Vietnam-era radios while it needs 37,000 newer radios," according to Guard budget briefings." " " OK, lets fund the Guard. " " "Meanwhile, ham radio operators proved that older technology can be the most reliable technology. Our EDA Editor (and ham) David Maliniak wrote an online column on the subject, pointing out that sometimes "old works when new doesn't." (Read it and add your comments at ED Online 11136.) During and after Katrina, hams running on generators (sometimes with makeshift antennas) worked throughout the hurricane zone to put emergency stations on the air. They guided rescuers to stranded victims and updated weather services via the Hurricane Watch Net." " " Wait a minute. The Guard says their equipment is antiquated and needs replaced, but the ARS service says that older technology may be what is needed. Obviously, they can -both- be right. When wide area vhf+ comm systems go down, they have to switch to simplex where they can, and HF/NVIS networks for the rest of the area. Certainly they have mobile repeaters and towers on trailers, don't they? A Honda 1K that is so quiet that it doesn't interrupt comms, and sips gasoline. A lot of ham clubs have that setup, why not the government? Why not indeed. Government contractor steps up and takes a 10K project and turns it into 275K contract. Police department needs 3 of them. Sherrif needs 1. Fire department needs 3. The Guard needs 3. Governor/EMA needs 2. 12 x $275k = $3,300,000 instead of $120K. Then they store it in the impound lot with the wrecked cruisers and fire trucks, exercise it every three of four years whether it needs it or not. Stale gas in the Honda generator gas tank; sputter sputter, sputter. Somebody writes an article and calls it "antiquated" equipment. |

Tsk, tsk...no wonder you won't reveal your employer's name! in all fairness that refusual is one of the reasonsi try to cut jim some slack. it is the senible thing I disagree. I am not Miccolis' tailor. If he needs slacks, he can go to the nearest Salvation Army thrift shop and get some at low cost. Stevie wants us to know he is an ER LPN which means given his address (qrz of course) and check of the phone book (online of course) one could work out where he works and deliver to him the trouble he tries to deal out to others Jim and dave for that matter have enough sense not to reveal there employment info online, Steve OTOH doesn't have that much sense hemakes easy and tempting to look it up and try to raise havoc with it, and flames the restof usfor not puting ourselves out there where we can be hit I don't really care what those others do. I'm of the opinion that they are either: 1. Lying; 2. Haven't got the courage to say outright; 3. Haven't got the courage to reveal what they do at their work. Dave Heil is supposed to be retired on his State Department pension, therefore he doesn't work. We don't know for sure exactly what Miccolis does at work or on what; all we get are vague inferences and one of his Comments stated he "works on vehicular systems." That could be anything from choo-choos to little warehouse loaders or even electric bicycles. :-) Once someone gets an amateur license, their address becomes public knowledge. The only "hiding" they can do then is to use a Post Office box or equivalent, but must furnish the city, state, and Zip code where that box is located. The most notorious in here was KH6HZ using a fake Hawaii address along with several "club" calls where he was "trustee"! The FCC closed down those "clubs" and he had to amend his personal license to a Rhode Island address. I've had my exact mailing address published in Ham Radio magazine for over two decades in my bylines. I don't have any qualms about revealing my surface mail address. I still live at that address. My only surface mail "spam" is local. A few people took the trouble to write me some good words about the help they got from my articles. Those were answered promptly and with thanks. The only brickbat received was from a southeastern state amateur who had some faulty basic theory; a check-in with the HR staff proved he was a source of irritation (and faulty theory) to several other authors. As to that month-old issue of Electronic Design, I've already put it in the recycling can. [new issues received today, including Electronic Products and EDN double-issue...even a new Mouser catalog] I'm sure that some radio amateurs have saved that editorial as some kind of "proof" of the something in amateur radio and will use it as a "reference" for many years. :-) bit bit |

Neither did you know that the VINSON system replaced almost all outdated crypto systems in the late '70's, including the old punch-pin monsters (KY-28/38 of the NESTOR system, which had been almost completely replaced by the VINSON system by the early '80's). You didn't know the difference between a 'hitch', a 'cruise', and a 'float'. You mistakenly assumed the origination of the phrase "One Shot One Kill" was from the Army Sniper School; wrongfully presumed that it is a tactic taught to all Marine recruits; then proceeded to demonstrate your ignorance about basic combat tactics, the use of shotguns, and the very common 40mm grenade launchers (M-79 & M-203). You claimed that "the only targets used to train Marine riflemen (and all recruits) [are] head shots and 'center mast', or chest shots", but didn't know that the standard round marksmanship-type targets are also used, and much more often than "dog" targets. In fact, most of rifle qualification is done with the round targets. But you didn't know that despite your claim to have "[taken] home an 'Rifle Expert' on each and every trip to the range". You didn't know that only the results of an Article 15 proceeding are recorded, not the entire proceedings; and you don't even know what page in the SRB they are recorded. You didn't know that Marines are often prohibited from taking any off-duty employment, nor did you know that such a decision is usually made by the CO, not HQMC. You didn't know that outside communications can be prohibited during a base lock-down or unit activation. You defined a 'chit' as "A Naval term for a 'permission slip'", when in fact it means -any- piece of paper with something written on it. You didn't know that a dishonorable discharge can only be given as a result of a conviction in a General court-martial, and is usually given after a few years at Leavenworth and a reduction to Private. You didn't know that the Corps doesn't use cutting scores for promotions. You misquoted your SIX alleged promotion certificates (a misquote that I later found on google verbatim). You didn't understand that "years and months in specialty" (box 11 on the DD-214) is not the same as time in service, yet claimed that you have -several- DD-214's. You claimed that time on the delayed entry program was considered to be time in reserve status but never was. You stated that "My DD-214 says 'Honorable'...", yet after 1979 there is no box on the form to designate character of service. The DD-214 is only a "release or discharge from active duty", not a final discharge certificate. Only that latter will denote the character of service.

"Mark" Why can't they have both "higher and higher tech" and low tech? The current circumstances in southern Louisiana are clear proof. Once again the cellphone net, trunked and interlinked Public Service communications systems CRASHED under the weight of Katrina. But the average American in ordinary emergencies get's along pretty well on cell phones. The average emergency responder gets along pretty well on "higher and higher tech." ham ego's also get in the way as witness the reaction saying that the response of ham radio was less than it could have been while much better then the Govt own response Oh yeah...Our ego's got in the way...yeah. Right. Uh huh. Sure. OK. Did you go to LA as an emergency responder or a ham? Yes I am dispointed in the response I saw and heard to Katrina and Rita I am apaled by the response of LA and NO not thrilled with FEMA either but as can be send they are dependant on the locals for infrastructure There is no way that any one state can truly "gear up" for the kind of disaster response that Katrina and Rita mandated...Not even California with it's sixth or eighth place GNP could withstand this kind of impact without calling in federal assistance. Or volunteer assistance. Amateur Radio's BIGGEST contribution in this scenario is it's decentralized locating of assets. With thousands of licessees and stations spead out over the entire nation, Why can't the State decentralize some of it's assets? There has to be National Guard, County Airports, State Colleges, etc that can be used to decentralize. The State gov't already owns all that real estate. And another thing, what about mobility? Why did I see all of those submerged yellow school busses in air photos? That's rolling stock. There's no excuse for not driving those busses out. And there's no excuse for not using those busses to evacuate people. there's no way that anything short of complete nuclear annihalation, pandemic disease or apoctolyptic act of God could obliterate it. Steve, K4YZ Thanks. |
