 Production                                of Yaesu radios at Vertex                                
Standard's factory in Fukushima, Japan, has                                been 
temporarily halted due to earthquake                                damage.

In an open letter to the amateur                                radio community, 
Vertex Standard CEO and President                                Jun Hasegawa 
expressed                                his gratitude for the many "kind words 
and                                thoughts about us during this difficult 
time." He                                reports that all Vertex Standard 
employees and                                their families are OK, although the 
company has                                not been able to reach its many 
dealers and                                subcontractors located near the 
coast. "We just                                hope that they are alive," he 
writes.

Hasegawa also reports that the Yaesu                                factory in 
Fukushima suffered "minimal" damage                                from the 
earthquake but has been temporarily shut                                down 
nonetheless. He says he expects it to be back                                in 
normal operation within one to two weeks and                                asks 
for everyone's understanding and cooperation. 


At this time, there have been no public                                reports 
received from any of the other Japanese                                amateur 
radio manufacturers.
