President Bush on 40 Meters
The Northern Florida Amateur Radio Emergency Service Net (NFAN) on 3950 KHz had an unusual check-in this morning (January 31st). Around 9:15 AM, President George W. Bush checked in using a portable station set up in a Daytona Beach fire station by John Schmidt, AF4PU.
The President made these comments to the 40 or so stations on NFAN:
"I want to thank all the volunteers who help make sure that Florida is prepared for any kind of emergency. I also want to assure you that your Federal government is doing everything we can to make sure that there is not an emergency--starting with unleashing the mighty U.S. military overseas to bring evil ones to justice. But should there be a need for a response, I want to thank you all for helping our communities be prepared. And finally, I want to tell you--we are lucky to be Americans and may God continue to bless this great land of ours. Thank you very much."
