Hi, Just for everyone's information, we have had a larger than usual number of staff absences this week due mostly to illness. We are aware of this situation and we are compensating for it as best we can. Hopefully, everyone will be feeling better by next week. If you were trying to contact any of these folks directly, this is the reason that they have not gotten back to you as promptly as you would normally expect. I am going to the Monterey CA Radiofest www.radiofest.org <http://www.radiofest.org/> starting tomorrow and I will return to the office on Wed. I will also be checking my email, but if anything is urgent, please refer it to Dave. Tnx and 73, Harold Harold Kramer, WJ1B Chief Operating Officer ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio 225 Main Street Newington, CT 06111 Telephone: 860 594 0220 email: hkramer@arrl.org web: www.arrl.org/ <http://www.arrl.org/>
