And as we discussed as a concern earlier in the week, even the FCC statement conflates our part 97 amateur service with all the other part 95 personal radio services. The statement reinforces the idea that the public sees all those personal radios as Ham radios. What's worse, it suggests that all amateur radio use would automatically be by licensed hams operating those radios illegally. I suspect most users in any incident will be non-licensed operators or if licensed otherwise (any radio service) will not be announcing any proper call sign and therefore operating as unlicensed. Not much we can do except educate the public consumer of such generalized or partially misleading information, even though such statements may have been innocently issued to the public.
