 Mr. Lincoln's White House: William Dennison (1815-1882)
William B. Hesseltine, who wrote a study of Civil War governors, described him as "a man of suavity, of elegant manners and of excellent social connections.

 ARRLWeb: FCC Wants Explanation for Alleged Interference During Declared Emergency
After determining that Dennison's signal--on 3.875 and subsequently 3.876 MHz--was interfering with the net, an FCC agent telephoned Dennison to make sure that he was aware of the communications emergency and requesting that he change frequency.
Dennison is said to have commented on the air regarding the telephone call from the FCC, then moved to 3.873 MHz, where he contacted the emergency net control station to challenge the net's use of HF rather than 2 meters for the emergency traffic.
Dennison's alleged action "reflects an alarming failure in understanding what Amateur Radio was established for and the basis for its allocation of broad frequencies and privileges," Hollingsworth said.
