Sorry but I can’t put names to the bodies in the pictures, but I think the guy in the Hawaiian shirt is Frank Merrill. Ernie (red hat, I think) sent over two photos of the Omaha antenna farm. These are located on the inside back cover. This convention could very well turn out to be the last convention, so I hope those who went enjoyed it.

The operational status of communications services during a disaster may evolve rapidly, and this report represents a snapshot in time. Although Hurricane Michael had a serious impact on communications services in the Florida Panhandle and parts of Georgia some improvements are evident, especially in wireless services. In Georgia, the percentage of cell sites out of service dropped over the last seven days from 14.2% to 0.1%. In the Florida Panhandle, however, the percentage of cell sites out of service remains more significant in Bay, Gadsden, Gulf and Washington Counties. The FCC continues to closely monitor status of communications services, especially in the hardest hit areas. The following 110 counties are in the current geographic area that is part of the DIRS activation (the “disaster area”).

This report incorporates network outage data submitted by communications providers to the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS) as of 11:00 a.m. DIRS currently covers areas in Florida only.

The FCC continues to closely monitor status of communications services, especially in the hardest hit areas. The following 21 counties are in the current geographic area that is part of the DIRS activation (the “disaster area”). Note that on October 18, DIRS was deactivated in Alabama and Georgia.
