Pennsylvanian Radio Amateurs Can Put Up Antennas!

The hobby itself may be old, but we use some pretty interesting digital modes. And we don’t need to rely on anyone’s infrastructure; many are set up to run when (not if) EVERYTHING else fails. Example; the only constant communication available during Katrina and more recently, last winter on the Oregon coast was amateur radio.

Although I no longer am a ham, I think this is only fair - plus, no one could ever overestimate the need for amateur radio operators in time of disaster. When all other communications go down, there will always be hams with 2m rigs, and hastily placed repeaters, to get news and help for the affected areas.

Besides that, I would think that any dissenters would be busy trying to figure out how to vote more than once for McCain-Palin - the YouTube videos of the rednecks and other assorted idiots lined up to see them at rallies, complete with many swearing that, to the best of their knowledge, Barack Obama is a terrorist, a Muslim, or not otherwise deserving to be President, would keep the general populace quite busy. {Sorry if you’re from Pa. - I really had no idea that there were so many people showing such atavistic traits that far above the equator - I thought that sort of thing had been relegated to the states of the Confederacy.

What the article didn’t mention and I’m somewhat curious about, is whether the legislation overrides any homeowners association type laws. I believe it does. Perhaps the PRB designation indicates that it does - I haven’t been following it that closely.

The HOA’s are going to have a FIT.
Right up until their place gets hit with a disaster and the hams are the only ones who can communicate to the outside world.

Oracle - all that aside, he doesn’t *deserve* to be president. He’s another Politician and this is a game of divide and conquer.

Nice to see your name.
