This all seems to be an obscure meeting on an obscure subject held over two years ago. Did the ARRL seek to provide some information to the Governor after that meeting and did he step forward and refuse to sign the usual declaration of state Ham Radio Days that most states have?

Did he step forth and announce that he felt it a wise bit of legislation to forbid all ham radio in Massachusetts? I kinda doubt it.

Someone call the campaign and ask if the Romney platform is to oppose ham radio and all of its facets and get it formally quoted. If you don’t have an explicit statement of that sort, you have nothing.

Obviously you didn't actually READ the article then?

He can't do that. A state can not close down Ham radio. It's a federal program. It's not about ham radio.

Quit trying to minimimze this. It's NOT ABOUT HAM RADIO, it's about ignorance. There's plenty here. I really think all you folks trying to minimize this and push it into the background "because it is 2 years old" are being very close minded - or trying to HIDE something. I don't care how long ago he did it, he did it, and that's the imporantant thing. Some of you sound like Bill Clinton Defenders now.
