5 MAY, 2002 - 1700 CDT How many other directors, and vice directors, besides George Race and me will be going to Dayton this year? FYI, I will be staying at the Dayton Holiday Inn, North (Wagner Ford Road exit on I-75) because it's cheaper than the Marriott - and this is where the group I ride with stays. 73 - Dick

I've corresponded with Cardinal Mahoney in the past. I don't know if he's active on the air, but at the time he was staying abreast of what was going on in amateur radio.

5 MAY, 2002 - 1700 CDT Steve, you have this issue right! It's very hard to get public service communications volunteers, when this very "public" is engaged in making it ever more difficult for hams to put up antennas of any sort - and the agencies the hams assist fail to come to our aid on this issue. As we all know, cell phones will never be a viable substitute for Amateur Radio in these types of operations - let alone a real large-scale emergency. When the time is ripe, we must all get as many of our constituents as possible to to write their congressman and two senators to tell is like it is. 9/11 makes this issue all the more pressing, but by itself it does not solve our growing antenna prohibition problem. 73 - Dick, W9GIG
