Staffing requests for amateur radio operators are beginning to come in from the South Texas (STX) Section. The ARRL is requesting that nearby sections, including Alabama assemble a list of volunteers who are willing and able to deploy to the affected area. Suitable candidates should be licensed amateur radio operators, in good physical condition, who are able to travel to Texas for a minimum of five (5) days.

There is no reimbursement for travel expenses. No amateur radio operator should deploy to the affected area until receiving orders to do so by their Section Emergency Coordinator. If you are already deploying to the affected area has part of another group such as ARC, Southern Baptist, etc. I'm interesting in knowing the details.

If you are interested in serving in a volunteer deployment, please contact me immediately via cell phone (205) 253-4867 or e-mail at:
