Dear ODV Members:

I regret this story is behind the Wall Street Journal’s paywall, but seven former FEMA administrators have sent a petition to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg asking that Ford and Tesla not drop AM radio from their electric vehicles. https://www.wsj.com/articles/electric-vehicles-need-am-radio-former-emergency-officials-argue-9e69e297

Among the former FEMA Directors saying access to AM radio in emergencies is critical is ARRL member Craig Fugate, KK4INZ.
