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!
