Eric, I suspect there are others on this list much more involved than I, 
but wanted to let you know that the ham community is gearing up to respond 
to this threat.  I'm not sure how things are going to play out, but I'm 
spreading the word among the TAPR community (there will be a major blurb on 
this in the upcoming issue of our journal) and I'm also doing what I can to 
raise awareness within the larger ARRL organization.
