> ==>RADIO COMMENTATOR PAUL HARVEY PLUGS HAM RADIO'S EMERGENCY
> COMMUNICATIONS ROLE
>
> Veteran ABC Radio Networks commentator Paul Harvey this week offered
> some kind words for Amateur Radio. The mention was the second item on
> "page four" of his March 19 Paul Harvey Noon News and Comment program.
>
> "America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators,
> 700,000
> of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in
> emergencies--amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators,
> during and after floods and fires and tornadoes," Harvey said. "After
> the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and
> 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."
>
> The commentary's enigmatic and mysterious final sentence--typical of
> Harvey's habit of leaving his listeners hanging--apparently refers to
> the fact that many Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) and Radio
> Amateur Emergency Service (RACES) teams have ramped up their alert
> status as hostilities get under way in the Middle East.
>
> The entire Wednesday noon broadcast is available on Paul Harvey's Web
> site <http://www.paulharvey.com/>. Click on the Wednesday noon link
