Just in time for Hurricane Charley, the FCC has issued a clarification of its policy on Emergency Communications Declarations in the Amateur Radio Service. See attached. We're distributing the policy to SMs and posting a story about it on the Web.

Was there any consultation between the FCC and ARRL on this new policy? I'm not impressed with the results. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki@arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
