As of 1300 EST on 27 Oct 03, the ARRL news page has not one
word about the many fires in California which have consumed a
quarter million acres (half the land area of Rhode Island), over
500 homes destroyed, over 11 dead, now in its 5th day.

Up here in Minnesota it just doesn't seem to be of any importance what
some radio-hobbiest club near Hartford, CT, writes about on their web
page. The ARRL isn't relevant to the massive tragedy you folks are
facing.

Rather than sending hobby radiomen, the State of Minnesota DNR is
sending you one of our new Canadian-built arial tankers, an augmented
flight crew, and additional DNR firefighters to help you and your
neighbors.

Stay safe, Len.
