[LARC-CQ] CQ Digest, Vol 30, Issue 22

Sun Aug 30 10:28:19 PDT 2020

That's one reason I think it's imperative that we all comment on the filing on the FCC website and remind them of all the times hams have helped out in emergencies. Just in the last few days with hurricane Laura the Hurricane Watch Net was on over 29 hours, and I'd be willing to be there are hams helping out in the affected areas right now.
