Hey there C Area!
First First - A big ol’ CONGRATS and high 5’s all around to Logan for certifying on Lows D sides! Well done and thank you’s to everyone who worked hard to help him achieve this goal. Great job all!

Saturday NUW is going ATC-0 for some maintenance, in hopes that this will fix whatever their issue is that has caused them to go ATC-0 in the past. You can expect a briefing as it gets closer to Friday about how this will impact our area and traffic. I was asked about them using one of our frequencies (and after some investigation and inquiries…. To work NUW airspace, they have to use 3 or 12’s frequency, which adds to the congestion of the frequency. I looked over a map and talked to many A Area controllers and sups.. it’s a lot) but after looking at everything I told them the risk that would be added to our area was not worth it. Not to mention the frequency coverage in question, and and and.
Article 5 - 2 D sides start in the Dysim on Monday. We are in need of someone to help with this. Any amount of days would be appreciated. Any. Monday - Thursday through October. Anyone. Please. Thank you.
I appreciate you all, keep on keepin on!!!
