Great piece by the local Tampa Bay TV Station: Radio operators ‘vital’ to emergency response

They don't use sirens or flashing lights; instead, they use HAM radios to keep you safe when disaster strikes.
Amateur HAM radio operators...
It's vindication for HAM operators...
In a SHTF scenario (beyond major disaster),
the low-life neighborhood Ham with that obnoxious tower
WILL suddenly become one of the most sought after
people in a neighborhood when it's learned that HE and HE ALONE
may be the only source of news and information on their loved one's
fates, and possibly the fate of their Country.
God Bless America.
What a load of bovine feces. He could be a useful resource if he were not treated like a lowlife by a member of the local constabulary. Amateur radio is just one tool that can be used if the leadership of public safety asked him to be part of the solution. Grumpy old street cops who have been moved inside don't count for squat.
