Just for everyone's info.. a local ham here in Madison contacted David Sumner via E-mail. David's only response was to say that it was not a hoax. This still doesn't explain why mentions of the two bands are absent from the source material, but perhaps this will be explained later on. Do the research yourself and come to your own conclusion on this (and any other) issue. Even if this isn't a hoax, I'm still not too worried about losing those two bands - I don't think the FCC would take them away from us, especially since tons of public service (including SKYWARN operations) are conducted on these bands. Speaking of SKYWARN.. I've been reading and watching a lot in the national press about the recent weather-related disasters in states running from Texas to Kentucky. I heard the big tornado in Kentucky(?) wiped out over a thousand homes, but didn't kill anyone! I'd be interested to hear from the SKYWARN folks over in that area abou their experiences with these events... sounds pretty crazy! Hope you folks are all holding up well! -Circ (a.k.a.
