Scriv I appreciate all of you more than you could know. We do not have
FEMA or the Red Cross anywhere in our area. If we did I would not be
doing what I am doing. It has been left up to "whoever will" to stand in
for these folks. If Part15 will send somebody to this area with what is
needed I say lets send it to them, but if they arent coming HERE in my
local service area where I see all these needs - - I say ship it to me
and I will put out there for their use. What I see needs to be tended to
TODAY - - not held up in some bank account until you reach a dollar
amount goal. To the moment we have received $1000.00 in funds and I want
to thank all of you for that - - - - GEORGE that $300.00 has already
made it - - GOD BLESS
I know of a family sitting in a shelter right now that does not have
the money to buy the wifes diabetes medicine - - - - well, now she
does!!! She will have it before 10:00am this morning and they will know
that WISPA.org has stepped up.

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.
