Hi everyone.

I just got off the phone with Allen Pitts, who is the ARRL's CorpCom
guy (he's the one that's forced to talk to us reporters all the time).

Allen is currently working out of a former K-Mart in Louisiana.

In addition to the VSAT stuff that a lot of us have been doing, he
said that HF gear and operators for that HF gear is urgently needed.
He said that they are stretched very thin and they have some areas
including at least two hospitals that are totally without communications.

At this point, I'm not sure who is coordinating this, but I suspect
that the Red Cross can tell us.

However, if you are, or if you know anyone, who would be willing to
deploy to the Katrina area with HF gear in hand, they need the help.
If you let your ARES managers know, I think they can pass the message
along. Hope I'm right here.
