[Tom NØJMY - AAR7FV]

I apologize for all the bandwidth I've burned up on this OT today.  Many
have written, asking that I post an actual transcript of the Ham Radio
segment.  For those of you that requested it, it follows:

"America's quiet warriors...are the legion of Ham Radio operators.  SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND of them who are always at ready for back-up duty in
emergencies.  Amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators,
during and after floods and fires and tornados--after the nine-one-one
attacks, hams were indispensible in reuniting families.  Most recently it
was they who expedited the search for debris after the disaster to the
Space-Shuttle Columbia.  And right now, at this moment...they are involved
in Homeland Security to a greater degree than...you would want me...to make
public."  -Paul Harvey, 3/19 mid-day broadcast, ABC Radio.

There you have it,
Tom
