<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the case of this request....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When you Volunteer under conditions like this under
FEMA, you become a federal employee. Even though you may be a ham radio
operator, you may be assigned to something different. You would be
compensated as a federal employee and you would be working as a federal
employee, not a ham. In this case, they were looking for CERT
trained people to service as public relations people.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I very much would like to see ALL Amateur Radio
Operators that are interested in Public Service to sign up and take the 22 hour
basic CERT training class in your Area. It can be a fun class and who
knows, you just might learn something!</FONT></DIV>

<P>Even, if you do act in the capacity as an amateur radio operator you can be
compensated for your expenses. What you cannot be compensated for is your
radiocommunications services. </P>
