I realized this week that Ham Radio came through for me again. I was one of the few in my neighborhood with a generator that worked. We made it through about 40 hours of no power better than most due to the gennie. They are useful for more than just Field Day! Lots of neighbors dropped by, coincidentally..... 73, Chris W3KD Christopher D. Imlay Booth, Freret, Imlay & Tepper.

Please continue to remember all f those who have lost so much and are misplaced. Shelters still continue o operate in many areas throughout the North East and Amateur Radio perators are continuing to answer the call for support. Thanks to all of those who are helping and a big thank you to ARRL Staff or all of their continuing support. The earthquake, now seems like nothing compared to what we have faced this eek. Thanks for all the support. 73 oyce KA2ANF
Seeing the news of additional earthquakes (after shocks?) and the hurricane is sobering. We don't think of earthquakes hitting the East Coast or of so much rain from a hurricane so far north. In spite of the fact we Midwesterners sometimes suggest the East Coast should be sawed off and floated out to sea, I wish everyone continues to be safe and avoids any meaningful damage.
We occasionally get a tremor from a secondary fault off the New Madrid fault line, but so far these have gone unnoticed by most people here. Some day, though . . . 73, Jim Jim Weaver, K8JE Director, Great Lakes Division 5065 Bethany Rd.
