[KYHAM] Ky ARES Wx Synopsis and Update

[Ron Dodson]

I will continue monitoring 7.228 until 5 PM EST at which
time I will switch to 3.888 MHz. 

Several phone lines are affected across the state impacting
e-mail and phone reliability.  I will monitor these freqs.
as a back up.

No state-wide activation from Ky EM has occurred though some
local ARES teams are currently active in their areas.
Flooding as you can see in the attached reports are
affecting many western, southern and eastern Ky counties
while ice is creating problems in the northern and central
regions.

Should your team be activated, try to advise me of the
activation and nature of it so I will have a good picture of
ARES op's in motion in the section.
