Worth noting that since the storm, WWL's parent company Entercom joined 
forces with Clear Channel Radio and other independent stations to launch 
The United Radio Broadcasters of New Orleans.   Otherwise competitors 
are staffing the Big 870 WWL-AM  blowtorch and several other local AM 
and FM stations to provide emergency recovery and relief information to 
residents scattered through much of the nation, and as noted, via the 
WHRI shortwave relay.   Great example of doing the right thing.
