"Each and every time I have been rebuked by these agencies we seek to help..."
"...we are in the forefront of the City of Worcester's Emergency plans, and not an afterthought."
Below are a few excerpts from the comments section:
"A Big-Bellied Boss Man gets his jollies from brow beating volunteers who just want to help. It's a real turn off and many will not return to help after their first venture."
"Using repeaters for ECM work is OK if the damage is light, but for big disasters, they are useless with out power... ECM work should include data transmission on HF using PSK. No one wants to do this because most of the volunteers are technician class who use 2 meters primarily. "
"Having sat in on a couple of EC planning meetings, the situation would be comical if it wasn't so pathetic."
"There is only one real reason why Amateur Radio shines in emergencies: We are there before, during, and after the emergency."
"We are the problem. If we want to be taken seriously, we have to accept that showing up for some training event is nice, but showing up for the real events is mandatory if we want them to depend on us. "
"Let the ignorant SOB's die in the cold darkness."
"...after being the ARES EC in my county for 4 years, I am completely burned out...
My group showed up with Orange vests, one had a yellow light bar oh his truck, 3 or 4 HT's, and not knowing how to operate them... It doesn't project a very positive image.
....I have better equipment than the EOC has, and better array of antennas, including emergency backup antennas in my attic. Hole house generator backup power that will run the house for up to 2 weeks, plenty of battery backup as well. I can stay home, manage my own affairs, take care of my wife and our animals, not have to sleep on the floor in the EOC, and still work emergency traffic...
...Let you group be known, but let them come to you, and they will, when the sh*t really hits the fan, but as long as they have ANY communications, you are wasting your time. You know Ham radio has a saying..." When ALL else fails..there is Amateur radio!" The key word there is "ALL". Trust me, when "ALL" fails they will welcome you with open arms..."
