Observation:
Zero Outreach
Last nights Community Meeting on Wildfire Safety at Earl Warren was
attended by about 250 citizens. The program was sponsored by SCE.
Interesting to note that the Public Safety and social service and
volunteer agencies also took part in the meeting. After the meeting most
of the audience went one-on-one with officials and Public Safety
personnel. Aside from myself and PEY we saw no other amateur radio
operators. Looking at it another way, If amateur radio fails to respond
to open community events in representing itself to the public then the
more irrelevant it shall become.
Quoting a former club president:
