The fact that "Oathkeepers" have a comms plan that "recommends" buying ham equipment is NOT evidence that there were either licensees assisting the crowd or that non-licensees were operating illegally on amateur radio assigned frequencies.

It is irresponsible to — without any evidence — to publicly "admit"/"concede" that either licensees or non-licensees were involved. It is damage that no amount of PR can undo. If evidence — hard, provable evidence — emerges, then we can deal with it.

But throwing amateur radio under the bus by the use of flippant and careless language should cease.

Huyck's recommendations are not evidence; stupid and perhaps actionable by the ARRL, but the blatherings of a disturbed person are not evidence.

There is a bit of truth to them using amateur radios. Oathkeeper groups have a comms plan that recommends buying ham equipment.
