[Elecraft] Hams: When all else fails

[w2bvh]

Here's a quote from John C. Dvorak's "Inside Track" column in this 
week's PC Magazine:

"... Whatever the case, the most overlooked participants in the Katrina 
relief effort were the ham radio folks, who were doing whatever they 
could as ad hoc emergency dispatchers, creating their own network within 
the system. These dedicated persons pride themselves on their ability to 
do worldwide communications under adverse conditions, and the ARRL 
(Amateur [sic] Radio Relay League) and its members, as well as others, 
were a big part of the aid effort. Of course since amateur radio is 
anything but trendy in today's XBox, gene-splicing world, there was zero 
coverage of its contribution in the mainstream press, and these people 
are not the worlds greatest self promoters. At least some of us are 
paying attention. Good work guys! Bush should be giving medals to you all."
