Thanks Rick, ARRL has a great team! Bart Jahnke and Ken Bailey are doing a good maintaining contact with the field and utilizing the HQ Emergency Response Team. Norm has been communicating daily with them from Tokyo and keeping me informed. Dan worked over the holiday to get the FCC waiver. Rick Lindquest and Dave Isgur also worked over the holiday to get the news story out. Diane is holding down the fort while I'm in Tokyo. I'd remind everyone that in a fast changing and dynamic situation such as the impending landfall of Dorian on the continental US, ARRL has great professionals that are working multiple issues in real time. They are the experts and the ones closest to the problem. Let's trust them to do their jobs. 73, Howard On 9/2/2019 4:05 PM, Roderick, Rick, K5UR via arrl-odv wrote: FYI http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-grants-temporary-waiver-permitting-use-of-pacto...
