Yes Howard.  The HF Ale network is very active with hams standing by but I
do not see any actual use of the ALE stations, so far.  PSKmail , as I
mentioned earlier, appears tailor made for relaying traffic from/to Haiti .
from a ham to an ISP server.  Winmor/Winlink could also carry traffic from
the island and pop in into the Internet.  The question is ... will any of
these get any actual use,  or will hams on the island revert to old tested
methods...  phone nets and phone patches ?
