If you are an ARRL member, you also received an emailed statement from them today, reiterating their position on the appropriate uses of amateur radio.
It isn't surprising that those involved in the January 6 insurrection and attempted coup used radio comms of SOME kind to organize and coordinate activities. I hope none involved were hams. If any were, I hope that, at the very least, their licenses are permanently revoked. Regardless of your political leanings, there is no room for this kind of behavior in the amateur radio community. 73 de, Ian, NV4C On Sun, Jan 17, 2021, 4:09 PM Wayne Burdick <[email protected]> wrote: > The FCC just posted this: > > > https://www.fcc.gov/document/amateur-personal-radio-users-reminded-not-use-radios-crimes > > I guess this isn't surprising, considering current events.
