I just want to make one observation regarding the

That observation is with respect to FCC Part 97.1

I do have an 80 amp hour AGM battery under my operating position that
is kept trickle charged. While this is not that common, there are some

year or so, there was a poll to see how many ARES/RACES HF stations in

There was substantial use of ALE during the Katrina disaster.
I monitored rather intense ALE comms by Coast Guard rescue helicopters

Thanks for another copy of PART 97.1. Forgive me if I don't print it and
add it to the other copies I already have. My problem is that I object to
stopping at the end of Part 97.1(a). I agree that it is given elevated
status by virtue of position (ie, being first) but that does not

I wanted to make this a separate message for some reading regarding
ALE and Katrina, I do not know all the details of ALE use by all the
agencies involved, many just take it for granted actually, below is

There is no implied priority in the enumeration of principles in
§97.1, Steve; had a priority been intended, it would have been made
explicit.
In today's world, (e) is arguably the most important.

I think that it would be great if PC-ALE (and Olivia or PSK programs)
would log RX QSOs in something like WOTA automatically.

No priority is stated, thus all of the principles set forth in §97.1
are equally important.
In particular, no one can claim that one activity is more important
than another solely because its applicable principle has a lower

This is not a matter of interpretation. Regulations are

To me your statement read that you placed 97.1(e) in the priority.
My purpose of the posting on Part 97.1 was to

Its mostly the ham radio operator's use of ALE that I would like to know
more about. With military, I expect it since the main purpose of ALE is
to make things easier for the untrained radio operators. Actually, it
might be more accurate to say the users since the intent is to make
