Re: [NRCEV] We DO have jobs to do


I started to reply to this message but I gave up.  Every time I read a paragraph and started to develop part of a discussion I found that the next paragraph contradicted what Charles had said before.
 
At more than point he says the role of amateur radio is to force the people originating messages to rewrite their messages until the text makes good sense to the ham radio operator; yet at other points he touts the use of winlink which is designed to take the ham radio operator out of the look in handling message traffic.  He says it is important the radio operators don't do anything except operate their radios, but then describes the importance of being trained in all areas of every possible emergency (which is apparently important so we can know when the people in charge are doing things wrong so we can better correct their messages).
