One of our WISPA members, Mac Dearman, has already setup VOIP, Internet,
food and shelter for evacuees, He is doing this right now in Louisiana.
I do not care who gets the glory on this. I sent Mac $250. He has put
out a call for money, food, equipment and people to help him there
today. I am sure there are many people and organizations willing to
help and I applaud all their efforts including those of Part-15. Right
now I consider Mac's effort in place there to be our effort through
WISPA and I think he is our front line and we should support him. I say
we all give what we can and let those in place doing the work continue
to help. I plan to go there myself and help but I cannot right now. So
you ask if WISPA missed the boat? Call one of Mac's shelter VOIP lines
and ask the evacuees who answers the phone there if we are helping today
through Mac's efforts.

Shouldn't wispa stand behind and work with Part-15 on this one? This isn't a
race to look best, but an effort to put WISPs on the map as reliable and
trustworthy!

I am not sure where you will be getting uplink service to get out to the world
from New Orleans but here is a link to someone who may be able to help with
that.

Quoting Matt Liotta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I think at this point there is the support needed to provide help for
the hurricane, but we need some organization. It seems to me this
should be a WISPA lead effort. I think someone from the board should
lead the effort or have the board designate a volunteer to lead the effort.
We are ready to provide support ourselves. We can offer Tropos
equipment for instant Wi-Fi meshes as well as VoIP termination of phone calls.
