Good Morning, I'm still waiting for my notification of my call sign, I tested last Saturday 1/25.  I spent most of my life involved in First Response Emergency Services, most in all facets of EMS, Fire Service, Search & Rescue, Back Country Search and Tracking, etc.  During that time, I recognized the critical role of radio communications, especially the speed and coordination capability of Amateur Radio Operators and their willingness to apply their very professional standards in times of need.  Where authority agencies seem to do what they can to protect and keep their assigned frequencies to themselves, the more they isolate themselves in times of need the difficulty quotient seemed to rise.  Where Amateur Operators are honored and where information is open and moving, there is an exponential effectiveness in being able to execute critical strategy. These efficiencies are not tactical logistics,when we rely on experts.  As I begin my journey and learning in Amateur Radio, I've been concerned about the FCC trend of eroding frequency access to Amateur radio over the year.  The erosion has been in small increments and over time, it has been in favor of commercial interests.  The very commercial interests that make up the infrastructures that are at their best, in balanced infrastructure to normal commercial income and not perform well during a major event.  I want to express an appreciation to ARRL to challenge the commission and the desire to favor profit over readiness.  I hope, I can contribute to the cause over time and as I learn more and grow my understanding through General and Advanced Extra.  Crawling first.
