[ICOM] ham radio industry

[Gary P. Fiber]

I suspect product is either in the US or on the boat making its way to 
the US and other world areas. March for many Japanese companies is the 
end of their fiscal year.
Parts, well if the US organizations just got to have them they may use 
air freight, but that runs up the cost.

Most of Icom was made in the Osaka, Japan area. Adam was over there and 
toured a few of Icom's factories he may have a better feel for the 
actual locations..
I don't know how close they are together nor have heard of any damage 
but I am not in contact with Icom's employees much any more unless they 
take me to a show to help..
The Osaka earthquake did do some damage and I seem to remember Icom lost 
3 employees in that quake.
