Al Oubre K5DPG, Acting SEC for Louisiana, asks this resource request be
made known throughout the West Gulf and Delta Divisions.


We are still recruiting Amateur Radio operators for Washington parish
and Covington LA (North end of the Lake Ponchartrain causeway).

Some of the tasks in this area are to provide Amateur Radio
communications support for Red Cross shelters and Southern Baptist
Convention Disaster Relief efforts (mass feeding and chain saw debris
removal crews) in the area of Covington LA.  Communications is expected
to be tactical voice, perhaps portable, maybe mobile, on VHF/UHF FM. 
HF voice (40 & 75M) and Winlink are additional desired capabilities for
all assignments.

Volunteer facilities are anticipated to become available at First
Baptist church in Covington (16333 Highway 1085) include:  shower
trailer (with towels), kitchen, and sleeping in the gym or classrooms. 
You will need your own air mattress, sleeping pad, cot, and bedding. 
It may have air conditioning some time this weekend.  Conditions at
specific assignments may be primitive.

It is highly unlikely that you will be reimbursed for any expenses.

Please let me know of your interest.  Rather than individual e-mails,
register here and put COVINGTON LA as the first entry in the comments
block, followed by your expected date and time of arrival and
departure:    katrina.ab2m.net   Please use this method even if you
have previously registered at the site.
