Mike, Every ARRL Annual Report has information related to this. See attached at p. 8 forward, for example, from the latest (2018) Report. With regard to the FCC proceedings, I will have some information appropriate for general distribution tomorrow or Wednesday. All interested should be reminded that no deadlines for comments have been set, so there is plenty of time (at least 30+ days from tomorrow) to take the time to write an effective piece. We will appreciate the help. 73, Dave K3ZJ From: arrl-odv <arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org> on behalf of Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net> Reply-To: Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net> Date: Monday, January 6, 2020 at 7:56 PM To: "arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org" <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Subject: [arrl-odv:29308] Value of our ARRL EmComm services? I have a group in the NW Division HamWAN arena that want to craft a comment to the FCC regarding recent threats to the 5 and 9 cm amateur bands. One of the drafters has asked me to provide the total equivalent dollar value of EmComm services the ARES program provides the general public as part of their argument. I know I've seen a number thrown around somewhere in the past, but I'm at a loss to figure out where I saw it. Anybody remember, or can point me to where I can find that value? Thanks! 73; Mike W7VO
