Hello Rod, The largest amount of comments critical aboutthe recent ARRL statement are coming from membersin the downstate areas of Indiana. Sorry to say thatW9KJO represents himself as a Minister.There has beena significant uptick in illegal activity on the repeatersin the Terre Haute- Bloominton-Columbus Indiana area.I had been contacted several months ago when it becamea constant problem where the "pirates" were actuallyarguing with the regular users. Suddenly that repeater interference disappeared, about three weeks ago. A significant amount of information has been passedto the correct authorities, the IN-SM works for a county sheriff. Thank You, 73, Kermit W9XA On Monday, January 18, 2021, 2:41:48 PM CST, Rodney Stafford <w6rod@comcast.net> wrote: Boy, sorry for the lousy grammar.

Turns out there on QRZ.com Walter Huyck W9KJO listed as living in Terra Haute, Indiana. He is a league member.

Oathkeeper groups have a comms plan that recommends buying ham equipment.
