[GCARC] More Field Day info

[Bill S]

I disagree.

I agree that Field Day is not the appropriate venue for political discussion.

But, issuing rules that violate the First Amendment is totally agregious. I and many others served in the Armed Forces of these United States to protect and honor those rights.

GCARC is a membership of individuals with varied beliefs and principles. If I agree or disagree with anyone is not of consequence.

I live in SC. I Have continued my membership in GCARC for a variety of reasons. I just renewed my membership. If I had read this proposed edict, I may have made a difference choice.

The flavor of this email seems to indicate some issue of a personal nature. Maybe it needs to be resolved elsewhere and otherwise.

Respectfully,
73

Subject: [GCARC] More Field Day info

In light of the rhetoric of recent years, I am imposing a "no political talk" rule at Field Day. Field Day is about ham radio. I'll be damned if I am going to have political rhetoric spewed on those 2 days. If you need to talk about it, talk about it when you are elsewhere.

If I hear any political talk, I am going to do a 2 strike scenario:


  1.  I will ask you stop

  1.  If you don't stop, I will ask you to leave.

  1.  If you don't leave, and since I cannot force you to leave, I will do the next best thing. I will NOT count the score of the band you are affiliated with, or the band you are hanging with at the time you are doing your spewing. So, all that work to put up antennas, put up a station, operate,  take down the station, etc, will be for naught.

I look at ham radio as a refuge. I look to it to take me away from the problems of society, stresses of work, and whatever family issues you may have. I look at it as a 2 day vacation from the, world with the exception of ham radio.

I hope you agree.
