Thanks for sharing. We got a lot of buzz out of this one mention by Paul
Harvey, who must command a great many listeners out there in ham
radioland. This item, as it appears below, first appeared on the ARRL
Web site and in The ARRL Letter, Vol 22, No 12 (3/21/03).
REMINDER: Anyone may borrow and redistribute or republish material from
The ARRL Letter (but not from the copyrighted Web site), but we ask
anyone doing so to please credit The ARRL Letter as the source. The
individual who passed this along from YCCC (and I'm a member of YCCC
too, although I'm no longer on the reflector) should have done that.
Better yet: Sign up to get your own free copy of The ARRL Letter (you DO
belong to the ARRL, don't you?), and then you can read the week's
Amateur Radio news all in one place. The price is right and it's
delivered every Friday by e-mail. Register as a member on the ARRL site
and/or click on the Member Data Page (ie, if you're already registered)
and scroll down to check off the items you'd like to receive via e-mail,
such as prop bulletins, W1AW bulletins, the Contester's Rate Sheet, The
ARRL Letter and others.
Thanks!

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.
