I realized this week that Ham Radio came through for me again. I was one of the few in my neighborhood with a generator that worked. We made it through about 40 hours of no power better than most due to the gennie. They are useful for more than just Field Day! Lots of neighbors dropped by, coincidentally.....

So much has happened these past few days. Please continue to remember all
of those who have lost so much and are misplaced. Shelters still continue
to operate in many areas throughout the North East and Amateur Radio
Operators are continuing to answer the call for support.

Thanks to all of those who are helping and a big thank you to ARRL Staff
for all of their continuing support.

The earthquake, now seems like nothing compared to what we have faced this
week.

Thanks for all the support.
