This is just to let you all know the situation in Japan. Ken is the (part-time) head of the JARL International Section and as of this week is the Secretary of IARU Region 3. He was in Geneva for the CPM as a member of the delegation of Japan. 73, Dave K1ZZ ________________________________ From: Katsumi Yamamoto [mailto:ja3mvi@ba2.so-net.ne.jp] Sent: Fri 3/11/2011 12:56 PM To: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Subject: Re: Earthquake Dear Dave, Thank you for your kind e-mail message. We have experienced quite a shake in Tokyo, but without serious damages at JARL HQ. However, as the time progresses, we are also shocked by the casualties and damages caused by the earthquake and following Tsunami. It seems that the priority communications for disaster response is in a good shape to support the activity. We are not aware of any amateur involved in disaster communications so far. Thank you again for your attention. 73 de JARL International Ken Yamamoto/JA1CJP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ" <dsumner@arrl.org> To: <ja3mvi@jarl.com> Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 8:52 PM Subject: Earthquake Dear Ken, Here in the US we awoke to the news of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that have struck Japan. Our friends in JARL will be very much in our thoughts today. I don't know if there is anything we can do to help, but if there is, please do not hesitate to ask. Personal 73, Dave Sumner, K1ZZ
