Some Thoughts
Ham radio has done much to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As of this writing, the FCC has not declared a communications emergency, but has asked to keep frequencies clear within 5 Kc of emergency nets. The ARRL Web Extra has several other interesting stories. The Washington TIMES (9/5/05) has a story entitled "Ham voices relay calls for rescue". Check it out. (Thanks, K3BAZ) Another matter: don't miss the talk by Jeremy, K2ORX on IRLP. I would like to find out what it is and how it works. We hope you will join us for the October 11 BRATS meeting...73, Mayer, W3GXK
