Whom ever this FCC person who said this crap should not be in the position he is.

And someone in the FCC saying that amateur radio is no longer being viewed as an "emergency radio service" seems to me to be politically motivated since some of us, at least, are still providing that service as needed.

At this point in the world's history, saying that seems to me to be rather short-sighted.

IMHO, the world is presently in the worst mess in its history.
