No...it means someone may have THOUGHT about it...At best the article appears to simply say that it's not on the table for whatever reasons and that it's not on anyone's agenda to do otherwise. HMMMM not good for the safety of ARS freqs id say Perhaps. sorry you areit isn't "preahps it is "not Good" it may also be not bad but surely being classiefied with EMS and therefore above taxi cabs would have been good for us in the long run both here and in our neighboor Canada where vhf bandwidth is also at rsik Had we been reclassed, there might be actual demands that the ARS would have to live up to other than "goodwill.". More assinine, unfounded BS from Brain P Burke. There's not ONE bit of media release about Amatuer Radio as it pertains to the most recent disaster response in Louisiana that is anything BUT positive vis-a-vis Amateur Radio. WHERE do you come up with these assinine assertions, Burke? Two years ago you started in on this line about how ARES/RACES/MARS would not be able to respond or sustain a disaster relief communications, yet there's been one significant disaster after another, none the least of which being Katrina, and in every case where those agencies responded there's been nothing but positive press...And I am NOT talking about ARRL stuff...Real, mainstream media...CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc. The Amateur Radio Serivce, under the banners of MARS, ARES, RACES, etc, has more than lived up to it's claims of disaster communications support, yet you continue to make a fool out of yourself claiming otherwise. Burke, WHY do you continue this silly behaviour when you've been proven wrong over and over and over...?!?! Idiot. Steve, K4YZ |

I'm sure there are times when the ARS support is superb. But that is as "volunteers." Things are a lot different when your volunteer status changes to responsibilities you have taskings. |

Hey Brain, from what FIRST HAND, personal experience do you draw these conclusions? So far, EVERYONE, including FEMA, HLS, and others have had nothing but praise for ARES/RACES et al. STILL awaiting your refrences here.... Steve, K4YZ |
