[South Florida DX Association] Help needed for Hurricane Charley Recovery Efforts

[Bill Marx]

To ALL Southern Florida Amateurs,
> 
> Many of us were spared the effects of Hurricane Charley but others were
> not.  Your fellow amateurs have been working long, hard hours providing
> Emergency Communications.
> 
> We have need of relief operators in several areas and the request for
> new aid arrives daily.  YOUR help IS needed.
> 
> We need operators in Osceola (Kissimmee), Highlands (Sebring), Lee (Fort
> Myers and Estero), and Charlotte (Punta Gorda).
> 
> Do not pack your bags and go.  Send an E-mail to Ron Wetjen
> wd4ahz at gte.net if you can help in Charlotte.  If you can help in
> Highlands, Osceola or Lee send your e-mail to Jim Goldsberry
> KD4GR at comcast.net.  They will coordinate the number of folks going so
> that we have as close to the correct amount of operators at any given
> time.  They will put you in touch with the local contacts in some
> cases.
> 
> Most areas have no creature comforts and you have to bring food.  Most
> areas have a curfew and some have limited roads to access the work
> site.
> 
> Pay -- a smile, a hearty thank you, and a good feeling that you
> helped.
> 
> So let us hear from you -- SOON.
> 
> 73 and THANK YOU
