Could we ask Riley to craft a statement and appropriate contact information? Art Arthur I. Zygielbaum, K0AIZ ARRL Midwest Division Director On 1/19/2021 11:30 AM, ebhudgens@comcast.net wrote:

Here in TN I have contacted most of the repeater Trustees and have them monitoring their systems and most also are recording them continuously. We have had each system make a statement on all of their nets plus get blast emails out to all of their members outlining what is going on and requesting that all members immediately contact their trustee or his designated point person so that appropriate action can be taken.
These designated hams or the Trustees are sending their recordings directly to Riley Hollingsworth and coordination taking the repeaters used by these groups off line for the balance of the week.
Here we have had a couple of groups using two of the repeaters that cover downtown Nashville to coordinate their planned activities. There repeaters were taken down last night and will remain off until the weekend. We are still monitoring and recording all of the other repeaters that cover the downtown area, and will take them down if they pop up on any of them.
Most of the repeaters on our area are already set up for continuous recording and remote control so it has been very easy to take the necessary actions.

During our board discussion on the use of ham radio during the capitol events, I asked that we put out information on who to call if illegal/inappropriate use of amateur radio is observed. While I can guess at an answer, can we put out a statement informing members on the steps they should take in this situation?
I received exactly this question from a member today.
And if the answer is already published and I missed it, I apologize.
