Really? I thought all the kooks and nuts were claiming that the Feds were
jamming the amature bands in order to keep {whatever} secret...

The hams I'm hearing in the stricken area, mostly on 14.265 and 3.935, are
spending long hours relaying emergency and health & welfare messages, but it
seems like a slow, ponderous task. I would exspect a lot more action on the
local scene on VHF and UHF. In Florida, hams provide a valuable link among
all the shelters and the EOC's via VHF as well as HF.
