Dig deep on this one
The VU4 DXpedition is suspended, so you don't need your green stamps to get a
QSL from them. But those green stamps are urgently needed to save potentially hundreds of thousands of lives around the Bay of Bengal. Dig deep on this one. The following aid agencies are accepting contributions for assistance that they or their affiliates are providing for those affected by the earthquake and tidal waves in Asia. U.S. organizations are members of InterAction, a coalition of relief, development and refugee assistance agencies.

Might want to be a tad careful rushing to contribute to every "charity" with
the words "Asian Flood" or the like in them. Ever hear of profiteering? It is a sickness that some folks have..they wait to pounce on victims and "contributors" alike after every hurricane or any other genuine disaster. Ask some of the folks in Florida who get ripped off after every hurricane by "charities" and "home improvement" contractors to rebuild their damaged residences. All they need is an address, webpage and a 800 number. Many don't even have that and just drive the streets and knock on doors.....

Absolutely, then give only to those concerns you are familiar with, such as
Red Cross, Etc. Don't need to fund any "Nigerian Banking Scam", Eh/ 73's "Charlie" wrote in message ... Might want to be a tad careful rushing to contribute to every "charity" with the words "Asian Flood" or the like in them. Ever hear of profiteering? It is a sickness that some folks have..they wait to pounce on victims and "contributors" alike after every hurricane or any other genuine disaster. Ask some of the folks in Florida who get ripped off after every hurricane by "charities" and "home improvement" contractors to rebuild their damaged residences. All they need is an address, webpage and a 800 number. Many don't even have that and just drive the streets and knock on doors..... My advice is to pray for disaster relief workers.... -- Charlie Ham Radio - AD5TH www.ad5th.com Live Blues Music www.492acousticblues.com "KØHB" wrote in message news The VU4 DXpedition is suspended, so you don't need your green stamps to get a QSL from them. But those green stamps are urgently needed to save potentially hundreds of thousands of lives around the Bay of Bengal. Dig deep on this one.

Absolutely. Nice sentiment on Hans' part, but if you want to donate anything and be relatively sure it gets there, just give it to the International Red Cross. I'm not sure if International Red Cross is any better than the American Red Cross or any of the other agencies I've listed, and I don't want to start a fight about it so in any case, for those who want to follow Steve's good advice, here is the contact information: International Committee of the Red Cross 19 avenue de la Paix CH 1202 Geneva Switzerland Phone ++ 41 (22) 734 60 01 http://www.icrc.org 73, de Hans, K0HB |

Another classic "Hansism" where Hans opens his mouth and inserts his foot. Hey Kenny, They're all reputable charity organizations. For further detail see http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy With warmest personal wishes for the new year. de Hans, K0HB |
