Earthquake surprise on MARCO Zoom session

Our thoughts go out to member Etsu JA0BXP and his countrymen in Japan. An earthquake occurred as the session started and Etsu checked in 25 minutes into the following video to report on the earthquake. As you watch the video, the discussion thread before Etsu contains discussion about Warren and the Grand Round net, and his request to find others to help on some Sundays with running the net. Potential of W4DFU at the University of Florida to offer a signal similar or better than Warrens from a nearby location (120 miles NE) exists. The station has a Flex-6600 so the net could be run remotely by those who want to participate as net control.. Enjoy the video 73, Jay AA4FL...
