Now that is a good idea. The "civil defense" symbol is an overlayable symbol. It was not necessarily required to be "civil defense", but that was the best descriptor I came up with in trying to describe what the basic symbol should look like. Also, since the symbol character is a "#c", I thought that "civil" was a nice match. That is, a WHITE triangle within a BLUE circle. The Overlay character shows nicely in the middle in red. That would be a nice symbol for an emergency powered station that is intended to be operational during emergencies and loss of power. Maybe we could suggest an overlay of "E" for emergency powered station. Right now, we are using these overlays for that symbol: R = RACES C = CERTS E = Emergency Power? See: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/aprs/symbols-overlays.txt But for those APRS programs that allow overlays on all symbols, then the overlays for the HOUSE station symbol could be: B=Battery E=Emergency Per G=Generator S=Solar W=Wind Bob, WB4APR
