Interesting that on this reflector, and in the shoddy "journalism" by the
quoted magazine, nobody has attempted to contact the ARRL or get the other side
of the story.
Then again, balanced reporting is just fake news anyway. Only reporting that

Mistake? Yes. Evidence the school teaches unsafe procedures? Hardly. It is more
likely a staged photo inches from safety with the tie-off just slapped
together. Showing such is wrong and a correction is in order.
