I sent an email to Steve Anderson, but I’m not sure if the ARRL email is
back up and running. I also left him a voice message. We decided to contact
solar wave on my own and after masquerading as an installer I actually got
someone to call me back. I may have got lucky, but the girl I spoke with
had an excellent knowledge of using the phonetic alphabet when she was
repeating my email address back to me. After 20 minute phone call, she got
back on the line to tell me that the matter has been escalated to their
engineering department and that their engineering department is going to
reach out to the installer who is here right now. When I told him that I
escalated the manner and that somebody would be contacting him, he seemed
quite annoyed. I’ll keep everyone posted.
