Just FYI from the Arkansas DX Association for those that have sent me private emails regarding some of the individuals below. Sorry for taking up ODV, but it is easier to just send the info out to everyone that asked in one shot. 73 Joel W5ZN -----Original Message----- From: adxa@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 9:35 AM To: adxa@mailman.qth.net Subject: [ADXA] displaced DXers ______________________________________________________________________ Displaced DXers ______________________________________________________________________ W5KFX, Don, and N5OLQ, Suzi, are safe in Plano, TX and reported the following DXers from his area are safe: K5PP, Max is Houston; KB5GL, Silvano, is in Houston; N5VN, Walter, is in Alexandria; K5OVK, Cliff, is in Melissa, TX (nr Dallas); W5ZPA, Mike, is in Memphis; W5JYK, Stan, is in Boca Raton, FL; K5KR, Wondy, and N5GGO, Shirley, stayed in New Orleans at East Jefferson Hospital, where Wondy is still recovering from pre-storm surgery. Also RTTY man AA5AU, Don, is OK in Shreveport, LA. In the New Iberia and Lafayette area of Louisiana KZ5D, Art, and W5ZR, Bert, are OK and suffered no damage and the W5WMU 20 tower contest station survived. K5YG, Bill, and his family weathered out the hurricane from Ocean Springs, MS. He reports the homes of K2FF and K5YG suffered minor damage but their towers both went down. Bill went on to say just about everything on the water between Pascagoula and New Orleans has been destroyed. N5FG, Floyd, from Wiggins, MS are safe in Monroeville, AL. N4HPL, Jesse, from Irvington, AL is OK and lost his antennas and part of his tower. AD5W, Russ, in Covington, LA is OK and sustained little damage, and his tower and antenna survived. As we reported yesterday N5PA, Alan Clark, from Laurel, AL and his family are all OK. Alan updated us on what happened in the Laurel area. "over 1000 homes totally destroyed and many times that damaged." I think this pretty much says it all. "There is nothing like having 80 MPH winds for 14 hours and 125 MPH winds for 4 hours." W5XX, Malcolm, is OK but lost all his towers in Vicksburg, MS. We're glad all of the above are alive and well. Many of the guys and their families are displaced, unable to get to their homes and I am sure most if not all are really stressed out. Some are in their homes with no power, water, gas or food. Our thoughts and prayers are still needed during these difficult times. ______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ ADXA mailing list ADXA@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/adxa
