This morning a section manager sent out this:

“ Subject: ARRL officially shut down

Good morning all,

I had to call the ARRL this morning on another matter and was informed
that today is the last day that the ARRL headquarters will be staffed.
Because of the Corona virus there will only be one person holding down
the fort, and the rest of the staff will be working from home.

I was told that especially any orders for publications will be delayed.

I do not know what or how any other services will be effected by this
shut down. I have no further information at this time.

73 de”

I don’t know how much of this is accurate but I would like for those sending out information about the operational status of HQ to have it from a central, authoritative source rather than just some random person at HQ.

I do think that messages that say that “ARRL is shut down” are inconsistent with what Barry has been saying - that we have REDUCED operations with staff working remotely.

What can be done to ensure that we all have one message that is accurate and consistent?
