Subject: TO ALL ARRL MEMBERS IN THE OHIO SECTION


When you receive the November issue of QST, you will read major reports on 
the response to  Hurricanes, Katrina and Rita. While it was not documented 
in this issue of OST, the Ohio Section played a VERY important part of that 
response. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who 
registered and responded into the affected area.

This is echoed by my fellow SECs in the affected regions. The Ohio Section 
definitely came through when needed.

If you responded into the area to serve any agency, please let us have your 
story, and any pictures. We will be passing them on to the ARRL for a 
complete wrap-up, and putting together a story for all of the Ohio Section 
to post on our web site, and include with future ARES presentations to show 
to our served agencies.

I'm interested in what worked, and what didn't work. The US has never 
experienced a disaster this complex in recent times, and we are all 
learning from what happened. All comments will be summarized and 
distributed to those who lead the response, and the goal is to be even 
better prepared the next time. We learn from all of our activities.

Again, thanks to all in the Ohio Section who assisted in any way. This was 
a "job well done", and was much appreciated.

73,
