Saturday, October 8th, 2005

Amateur Radio volunteers in Jasper County, Texas, continue to support

with other relief groups to provide meals to Hurricane Rita-displaced
residents. Amateur volunteers plan to meet with Salvation Army personnel to
discuss the need for Amateur Radio support beyond this weekend. Meanwhile,
ARRL Alabama SM Greg Sarratt, W4OZK–who’s been handling the intake of

communication for the emergency operations center (EOC) in Harrison County,
where they’ve been a mainstay since Hurricane Katrina struck in late August.
