This just in from The ARRL Letter, Vol. 25, No. 33, August 18, 2006
"ARRL First Vice President Kay Craigie, N3KN, represented the League at
the
Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Conference 2006."
"Craigie stressed that Amateur Radio needs to avoid "being dazzled by
our
own press clippings into thinking that we are the big dog in emergency
telecommunications.""
She refers to robesin-like attitudes within the ARS.
