Here's a quote from John C. Dvorak's "Inside Track" column in this
week's PC Magazine:
"... Whatever the case, the most overlooked participants in the Katrina
relief effort were the ham radio folks, who were doing whatever they
could as ad hoc emergency dispatchers, creating their own network within
the system. These dedicated persons pride themselves on their ability to
do worldwide communications under adverse conditions, and the ARRL
(Amateur [sic] Radio Relay League) and its members, as well as others,
were a big part of the aid effort. Of course since amateur radio is
anything but trendy in today's XBox, gene-splicing world, there was zero
coverage of its contribution in the mainstream press, and these people
are not the worlds greatest self promoters. At least some of us are
paying attention. Good work guys! Bush should be giving medals to you all."
