Hey Brain! " Hams ruin welcome at Rose Parade " Is A Misleading Heading That Any 3rd Grader Could Read Past

A general observation...(SNIP TO...) to run the show themselves. A bit of pontification by an Anonymous "source". your point? if any Do you understand the meaning of the word "pontification"...?!?! (That was a rhetorical question, of course...if you DID understand it, you would hve gotten my "point"....) Yes, I understand that the Red Cross has lots of cellphones and lots of their own radios. Yet none of the ones they had in New Orleans did them much good...now did they? why do you say that? guess you didnot read the articles posted here on the subject Sure I did...and in the New York Times, MSN On-Line, CNN.com, etc etc etc. And most of them were useless, just like I said. they did not get as much service as they hoped for but they and other still got service They got squat. Amateurs were "carrying the freight" for days down there. (3) This in no way, shape or form mitigates a single bit of anything that has occured or continues to occur as it pertains to the integration of and deployment of Amateur Radio resources for disaster relief. The FACT remains that the American Red Cross, The Department of State, the Department of Homeland Defense, The Defense Department, The Salvation Army, etc etc etc all maintain MOU's, or Memorandum's of Understanding with the ARRL at the National level and various organizations at the local levels to provide EMERGENCY communicaitons. and yet why did Dan make coments along the same lines about ARS activities during Katrina One man, one opinion...In neither case does it change FACTS that Amateur Radio is STILL the option of choice for mobile, immediate, reliable emergency communications. THAT is established by the aforementioned MOU's above and the previously mentioned news sources. Steve, K4YZ |
