Importance: High




> 
>  From the WCF SM, AE4MR:
> 
> Dave is currently operating from the "Staging Area" for the Hurricane
> Charley recovery efforts, and is requesting additional amateur radio
> volunteers to provide communications.  Currently Amateur radio is the
> primary means of communications, and we have just about maxed out our
> local WCF amateur radio capabilities after almost 3 days of activity.
> 
> At this time, any amateurs or CAT teams who are able to assist in the
> Punta Gorda area are asked to deploy to the area.
> 
> We will need relief beginning tomorrow (Monday) morning, starting at
> about 7 AM (there is a nighttime curfew).  Amateurs deploying to the
> area are REQUIRED to have portable (mobile) rig and mag mount antenna
> available.  HT's alone WILL NOT handle the job required, since repeaters
> are few and far between.
> 
> If you can, please advise me if you will be deploying, how many amateurs
>   will be coming, and if you can't come tomorrow, if you can deploy
> other days this week.  We'd probably like to have you for 2 days if
> possible (if longer, great!), but this will allow us to rotate folks in
> and out as long as we are needed.
> 
> The staging area is in Charlotte County, I-75 Exit 170, King's Highway.
>   Go about 1 1/2 miles west on Kings Highway to the Winn Dixie, where
> you will see the staging area.  On APRS, look for AE4MR-7.
> 
> Coordinating/talk-in frequencies are 146.730 (- 600, PL 100 hz) and
> 145.130 (-600, no tone).
> 
> There is no phone or e-mail capability in that area, but we are in
> contact with Dave and can forward/relay information if needed, although
> it may take some time to get an answer.
> 
> Thanks,
> Ron  WD4AHZ
