I mentioned to the panel that in El Paso a team of military,federal ,international, state, local ,private and amateur radio folks set up a voice,data and video wireless network designed to work outside the cellular network in two weeks on both sides of the border for the popes visit. No hitches.. no outages.. no problems...worked perfectly... cell towers near Pope got overloaded even with extra COWs in place. I asked if they had worked with these teams or studied how it was done...they all said no... one panelist commented it was a lost opportunity because of mix of agencies involved with international and military interconnection. One said we were probably too occupied with Super Bowl system. I am asking my contacts with involvement in project for a post mortem. It would be an excellent learning source... off the bag of soap...

No one on the lists has ever even suggested the positions you purport myself and others to have. Something has caused you to be bitter with HAMs and no amount of reasonable points by Brian or others has swayed you from that, so it would be a waste of my time going any further. It's like the customer that has been requiring more support and hassle than they're worth.

It makes no sense. The entire premise of the argument that being paid to do a job automatically makes you bad at it is flawed. If we were in Sub Saharan Africa trying to get some comm up where there was none I would be 100% in your corner since the alternative is nothing. I just don't see how you think you can install, maintain, and operate a first rate communications system supported by a bunch of people who have to wait till they get off work from Jiffy Lube to address system issues.
