    Wired Magazine Places Amateur Radio and Licensed OPS in the News
    https://www.wired.com/story/hurricane-helene-milton-north-carolina-florida-amateur-radio/

    I found it interesting there was zero Mention of the ARRL
    even by the interviewed “ARRL”  Section Manager

    It appears to this Section Manager (Me)
    That the ARRL is becoming Less Relevant,
    even though the Article did use the term When All Else Fails.

    And The POTA Power Interview by the WRL Staff….

    Does it appear to anyone else that the ARRL is getting left behind ?

    Cheers!
