I was disgusted to hear about the ARRL president getting on that hokey setup
and pretending to be operating as a ham. - Honoring the 9-11 victims *as a
ham* by getting on a non-ham setup that would be guaranteed to go dead
during any emergency precisely because it is based on non-ham stuff. Why
couldn't the guy get on W1AW and actually use radio? Is utilizing a non-ham
setup that is no good for emergency communications really an appropriate way
to honor the memory of those people *as a ham*? I don't think so. Instead, I
wonder what kind of message he was sending when he turned to the non-ham
stuff to communicate with other hams *as a ham*. I think the man should be
ashamed of himself.
