That must be a work of fiction. During the whole Katrina aftermath, I
never saw one amateur station in operation, nor do I know anyone who
did. Amateurs were of zero help during the emergency, and the public
got most of its personal information over the internet.

The media were of no help (carried only stories about New Orleans),
the Red Cross was of no help (arrived too late in most communities),
and the government agencies were definitely of no help.

If it hadn't been for the internet, most of the evacuees in my hotel
would have had no idea about what was going on at home.

The hams should be ashamed of themselves for pretending that they can
do anything useful any longer. What a crock of crap they're peddling.

Perhaps you and Rickets can get together and swap drug stories.

The hams were running several continuous nets on various frequencies
throughout the aftermath of Katrina.

Guess you weren't listening.

The hams had zero impact on evacuees. The hams were invisible.

I did listen to the hurricane net on EchoLink (can you say
"internet?"), and it was totally useless activity that only served to
make armchair hams feel important. I shut down the EchoLink client
and returned to finding information about my community on the web.

Lloyd is invisible.There used to be a Lloyd Ford dealership on South
State Street,here in beautifull Jackson,Mississippi.Nowdays,most of the
auto dealerships have moved out to the hinterlands,around here.

I just might be part Welsh,my mom,many years ago would call me,Llwelyn.

You were hard of hearing even then. She was calling you Evelyn. That is
why today you pretend to be a female on the usenet groups.

Well, I guess the reporter that wrote the front page article in the Wall
Street Journal about how helpful ham radio was got chumped and lied to
by all the people he interviewed for his story.

and the public got most of its personal information over the
internet.

Now, that's interesting as most internet traffic goes through the telco
central offices and many of those were either under water, had no
commercial power and/or were out of fuel for their generators...

But I never tune in npr.Bombardier movie is just now starting on Radio
tv.
