Amateur Radio Operators Still Needed

Wanted to pass along this call for help... if you are an amateur radio operator and can volunteer, be sure and get in touch with Greg!

Hello Alabama amateur radio operators,

I'm proud of all the efforts that Alabama amateurs have put in for Hurricane Katrina relief!
Amateurs have served in many roles from working at home to serving on deployments in harsh environments in the field, all roles necessary and important.

Today, there is still a need for amateurs that can deploy to the gulf coast region to provide communications support. The three Mississippi gulf coast counties need amateurs in EOC's, American Red Cross shelters and other locations to provide reliable communications.

Amateurs that can deploy must bring a full deployable HF, 2 meter stations, antennas, mast and accessories. Bring all camping gear and a two-day supply of food and water.
Field deployments are a minimum of 5 days and max of three weeks and some exist in harsh environments.

Send your full contact information, summary of experience, available departure date and deployment duration to the Montgomery marshalling location at:

DR871-06RTT-RCO3@usa.redcross.org

Thank you for your continued support!

Is this minor cold snap an on and off thing that we'll see before the actual cooler weather sets in for good or is it just some freak of nature thing.. I'm guessing that cooler weather will set in here around late October?..
