  My apologies for running a bit behind this month and for not 
responding as I usually do to those reporting in.  Closing out 
2004 has been a tedious task in many departments.  RLD, KySEC

Major Activity

Area 3
KI4BUN reports Henderson County, Ky activated with their 
neighbors across the river in Evansville, In as a snow storm 
raged on Dec 22

Area 5
KY4Z reports - During the ice/snow storm that arrived in Nelson 
County on Wednesday, December 22, amateur operators were 
requested to support both Nelson County EMA and Red Cross 
activities. Power was out across much of the county and in nearly 
all of the city of Bardstown. The Red Cross opened a shelter on 
the evening of Dec. 22 at the Bardstown Middle School, which had 
emergency power. Nelson County EMA set up a mobile command post 
outside the shelter that evening. Amateurs helped man the command 
post and the county's Emergency Operations Center, and supported 
the shelter operations. The Red Cross closed its shelter early 
Sunday, Dec. 26th.  Active Participants were: N4SQA, KI4FZR, 
AE4NU, KY4Z, KI4EZF, KI4HAP

Area 7
KY7ET was activated Dec. 23rd as the ice and snow from the 
massive winter storm knocked out power and phone lines in 
Pendleton County Ky and the surrounding area. NB4K, Ky4UK, W4SWS, 
WD8JAW, KU4ML, KG4BTF, KG4AAJ, KI4HFS, K4BRI, KB4VKS were all 
active in the operation.
