I am going to have to contest your declaration - only because there's
another
candidate who is clearly in the running: K4YZ, Steve Robeson.

You need to prove that K1MAN is the "King" by election. :-)

Now, let's talk about Amateur policy....

OK Dieter, what should be the Amateur policy regarding an amateur radio
operator in this country declaring a national emergency for another
country??? ak

Case in point:

Mr. E. Pitman,
Government Telecommunications Officer,
Department of Telecommunications,
Hamilton.

Dear Ted,

I am faxing a transcript of the broadcast put out by K1MAN last week. When
you have read this I would like to have a meeting with you, maybe we could
have lunch and discuss it then, to fill you in on what actually happened.

Your support with this would be appreciated. I have been to the American
Consulate and will be writing a formal letter of complaint this week,
requesting a public apology from K1MAN. He is advocating that I should lose
my license for NOT passing third party traffic when the "world needed to
know" and he had declared an emergency. He was doing this under the
authority of the "FCC" according to him. I reminded him that we were not a
State of the United States of America and that we were governed by the
Department of Telecommunications and also the British arrangements for third
party traffic. He could declare whatever he wanted to but until we had
clearance, we would not pass it

No emergency had been declared and as far as we were concerned it was an
unofficial net standing by in case we were needed should an emergency be
declared. He did not like being informed that we were handling the situation
ourselves very efficiently, without his help.

Please telephone me when it is convenient and I will explain more, or as I
said, maybe we could have lunch.

Yours sincerely,
