Radio Hams Fired Upon In Haiti

Bruce Perens writes "A team of radio ham volunteers from the Dominican Republic visited Port-au-Prince to install VHF repeaters, only to be fired upon as they left the Dominican embassy. Two non-ham members of the party were hit, one severely. ARRL is sending equipment, and there is confusion as unfamiliar operators in government agencies join in on ham frequencies."

And yet I prefer them to anonymous bigots. People that hide behind the title "anonymous" while they try to degrade an entire people based on what a few idiots have done are despicable. The depths of my contempt for such filth as you is incalculable. Stay anonymous.....coward.

Because... well, a whole global organization, succumbing to the views of a single irrelevant idiot with zero competence, would be... just completely silly.

You must have never heard of George W. Bush, then.
