N5FDL Recommends Squarespace
Powered by Squarespace

A note about why I recommended SquareSpace: I was editing this blog on Easter morning and submitted a support request. I had a response within an hour—and it wasn’t a major emergency. How could I not recommend these folks?

Comments Changed

By popular request, I have changed the permission necessary for commenting on items in this blog. Now, anyone can comment but anonymous comments must be approved by a moderator before they go live.

What Happens Now?

When a Rule Making Petition is filed with the FCC (as ours has been), the Commission first decides whether it has merit and is worth pursuing.

If the Commission decides the issue merits attention, it assigns an RM number to the petition. It also establishes periods of time when comments and reply comments may be filed.

After that the FCC begins actual consideration of the issue, in light of the comments received. The whole process will certainly take months and may take years.

At present, we are awaiting an RM number.

We may start asking supporters to contact the FCC and ask elected officials to contact the FCC in support of getting the number issued.

If you are signed up to receive updates from this site or our e-mail blasts you will be the first to know when we need supporters to take action.

We are fortunate that Tom, N5GAR, has previous experience sheparding a Petition to successful rulemaking and is guiding our effort.

Spice Up Your Go-Kit

DateFriday, November 14, 2008 at 12:14AM

Mini-Tabasco Bottles Turn Slop into Spicy Slop!So what good is surviving the emergency if the food you are given makes you wish you hadn’t? OK, that’s overdoing it, but the fact remains that the food offered responders during an incident can vary from steak to MREs, tasty to tasteless.

What’s a responder to do?

Tabasco is a well-known way to add taste to tasteless, at least for people who enjoy the heat. And because it is available in tiny bottles, Tabasco is easy to carry in your Go-Kit. I found these 1/8-oz. bottles at Cost Plus, where they are intended for use in food baskets, but BevMo also sells them, and you can order them from the Tabasco.com site. Cost is $4-$5 for a six-pack.
