[Anderson County Tennessee] New comment on -- Updated -- Mitt Romney and Ham Radio.

Anderson County ARES has left a new comment on the post "-- Updated -- Mitt Romney and Ham Radio":

Hello John,

Thanks for the comment, I am not to much for putting political stuff on our blog but this is / was something that cut me to the bone. As an assitant EC for Anderson County but I am also a local Volunteer Fire Fighter with Andersonville VFD.

We are a poor department by most standards but we have to maintain the same standards as a paid professtional department does. But as a ham I think we sometimes meet or exceed the communications capablities that we have avaliable to us in the fire service or police service.

It is the people like him that set us up for faliure as a nation when something goes wrong by not using the people how can help and be independent of the main system.

But this may a non-issue now that he has withdrawn from the race.

73, Moe N4CQW

-- Updated -- Mitt Romney and Ham Radio

Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney says that he never intended to demean Amateur radio in an exchange with a television reporter two years ago. This, as the debate over his comments flares anew on the ham bands and on hobby radio blogging websites nationwide.

Amateur Radio Newsline's Don Wilbanks was the one who contacted Mitt Romney and asked him to explain:

It all began during a televised Town Meeting that aired on November 16th of 2005 on segment 2 of WCVB television's "When Disaster Strikes" The program featured public safety and volunteer organization officials from across Massachusetts.

Moderator Natalie Jacobson had asked Governor Romney questions about communications interoperability, and communication without commercial power.

During the exchange Jacobson commented '...so you don't see yourself getting down to ham radio operators?...' The then governor replied: "No, we don't need to deal with ham radio operators. We have power systems that allow us to speak with one another and to manage our response."
