[KYHAM] [Fwd: Interesting information]

[Ron Dodson]

The next time someone tells you that the government
sector no longer has use for ham radio and that the
internet and cell/pager technology of the 21st century
has made amateur radio obsolete in disaster work,
show'em this!  If LAFD feels this way, why not our Ky
counties who are certainly lower budget operations than
this department.

Thanks to KY4UK for passing this on to John and myself.

73, 
Ron
