[TWIAR] TWIAR.org now featuring "Media Hits" for Hurricane Katrina recovery ops

[Greg Williams]

TWIAR.org is dedicating a page towards highlighting the "Media Hits" of the
various news agencies around the world who have featured amateur radio and
its role in the recovery efforts of the gulf coast hit hard by Hurricane
Katrina.

Many of the articles will be from local news agencies (television stations,
newspapers, and radio stations) but there will also be some items from the
ARRL and other ham radio outlets that are providing insight into the
valuable asset amateur radio is providing to the hardest hit areas of the
gulf coast.

Most of the items shown are from internet web searches.  If you know of an
article that was published and is not listed, please email the webmaster at
webmaster at twiar.org and give the URL and the agency's name that is featuring
the story.

This will also be a great opportunity to highlight amateur radio in your
community.  Please have those assisting in the efforts contact the local
media outlets in your area.  News agencies, no matter how far near or far
they may be from the affected area, would enjoy showing how people in their
community are getting involved in the relief efforts.  

The page will be updated often.  Please feel free to click on the "XML" link
in the page to place the "Katrina.xml" feed in your news aggregator.
