I beleive we are all in this hobby to have fun and support the community in their times of need and to get others involved with ham radio. If you are in this hobby just for fun - that is ok. If you are in it to support Emergency Communications - lets try to WORK TOGETHER for the GOOD of the community by not slinging mud. We MUST put personal feelings aside. The community loses - not us!!!! Check the egos at the door!!!!
