Totally agree. Mitt has bigger fish to fry. He’s running for president;-)

The simple fact is Romney has every reason to be wary of amateur radio.

WHY?

It is no longer the corp of motivated technically competent individuals that filled the ranks in years past. Over the last 30 years the amateur license has become a farce. Instead of demonstrating proficiency in the radio craft the license applicant simply simply pays $15.00 for a Q&A manual, takes the exam from a —”Volunteer Examiner”— (wink-wink) and walks out with a federal permit to operate with over a 1000 watts of power after simply regurgitating the multiple choice answers. Lots of technical competence there, let alone the ability to operate under adverse conditions.
