Harold,
GL with your testimony. You certainly have a great story to
tell!
Additionally, I wish to congratulate you
and those who did the hands-on work in upgrading our web site. I’ve often complained about the
user-unfriendly nature of it, but there has in my experience been a very nice
improvement with this. I will add
that I especially appreciate the easier-to-use layout of the Member Search
feature. The inquiry boxes for
calls and names are immediately accessible after the upgrade so that one no
longer needs to scroll to reach them before inserting the inquiry information –
saves time.
Tnx

Testimony
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that I
will be testifying tomorrow (Thursday) in Washington, D. C. on behalf of the
ARRL before The United States House of Representatives, Committee on Energy and
Commerce, The Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet. The
name of the hearing is “Public Safety Communications From 9/11 to Katrina:
Critical Public Policy Lessons.”
http://energycommerce.house.gov/108/Hearings/09292005hearing1648/hearing.htm
I will be testifying on the
successful efforts of Amateur Radio operators who provided communications
during the Katrina efforts, especially…when all else failed.
I have enclosed a copy of my written
testimony to the Committee. I will send along my oral testimony either
Thursday or Friday.
I am honored to be chosen to provide
this testimony and I am proud of amateur radio’s and the ARRL’s
role in the Katrina relief effort.
73,
Harold, WJ1B
