[TowerTalk] Chicago Tribune news: Ham radio tower has the OK signal

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

I don't know where you live Dan, but we in the Chicago suburbs are familiar 
with a creature that is especially prevalent in wealthy big city suburbs, 
the indolent, bored, self-centered whiner.
After he has grown tired watching the Bravo channel, he flails about looking 
for something to do.
Neighbors, productively occupied in past-times they enjoy, and minding their 
own business, are ripe for meddling with.  To these people, "disaster" means 
loosing their hair stylist because he moved to Paris (not the one in Texas).

73,

"The
federal government in its infinite wisdom interceded
years ago on
behalf of
a small
minority of radio operators when they might have been
relevant to some
national
emergency and defense.


i wonder how the guy would feel had he been in the
path of one of those hurricanes or a  major tornado
etc... we are irrelevant until needed then we are a
indispensable...

i actually had someone welcome my tower since in the
case of an emergency we might have a viable
communication path....
