7290, 7285, 14.265, 3935, 3873, 3965 and many others I am sure.

I'm listening to a young lady right now with the Baptist feeding unit
in
Biloxi Mississippi on the Alabama net frequency of 3965 passing
messages
to family and friends outside of the disaster area.

Such as "Daddy were alright" Don't worry have not been able to call
before.

And this is for you Len Anderson......take your anti-ham crap and shove
it.

Back to work, thanks to you all for the help you are providing.

Ask frankieboy to turn on his SeeBee and tell us all about the disaster
traffic they are handling.

This just came over 3965...

On 3965, KB7BSA is with the Baptist feeding unit in Biloxi MS.

She just passed this along after sending out 40 Health and Welfare
messages.....

" Ham radio is all there is for communications. Police, Fire, Rescue,
Emergency Services, all of them using Ham Radio, there is NOTHING ELSE
that works"


I've always said that ham radio has it's usefulness in certain
situations. This is most definitely one of those situations. But I
have no doubt whatsoever that every -other- mode of communication that
works, radio or not, is being used to it's fullest limitations.

And for some glory seeking hams to declare themselves and their
service to be the exclusive 'heros de jour' is absolutely repulsive,
especially while the situation continues to erode and people continue
to die.

Let me make this -REAL- clear to you, Dan: It's not about ham radio or
any other radio service. It's about the people that are suffering in
this disaster. So instead of thumping your chest while standing on a
pile of rubble and dead bodies, how about you hero-wannabe hammies
show a little dignity and set aside your self-aggrandizing delusions
for a little while?

I'm sorry Frank....I'm too tired to debate your idiotic comments. Ain't no
one thumping chests here.

I have ran several pieces of traffic from the disaster area tonight. Made
the calls and I'm damn proud of Ham Radio. If you don't like it. Gent
bent

Health and Welfare traffic is lower priority but it's still important
for people to know that their friends/relatives are okay and they know
he's okay too. Then they can attend to matters at hand with a clearer
head. Ham radio offloads H&W from police/govt/mil comm links so they
have enough bandwidth to handle the high priority stuff.


Sure H&W is of less importance. Saving lives is the highest priority. But
you know something? It sure made me feel good when I delivered those
messages from the disaster area. That is worth all the BS I read in here.

And I'd like to add kudos for all those outside the disaster area who are
processing the traffic. I've heard people with voices quavery with
extreme old age and voices young enough that I doubt they are old enough
to shave and every age in between. All are operating in an efficient and
professional manner.

Dee D. Flint, N8UZE


Ain't it amazing Dee? Ham Radio is safe. I no longer doubt it.

Dan/W4NTI

Yeah it sucks....but you know something? We still manage to be able to
communicate.

Isn't it ironic citizens despise amateur radio and they will go to court
to insure amateur antennas are never installed in their neighborhood. But
when commercial radio and cell phone fail, they expect we can provide
communication without antennas. Think about it.

Hams don't look with much real objectivity on their role in disasters

It's morons like you who secretly -wanted- something this bad to
happen just so you could have the opportunity to "step up to the
plate". Yep, all those people are suffering and dying so -you- can
feel good about being a ham -- you -should- be proud.

Get some perspective you sick ****.
