Hello, Radio Friends: Thank you for letting me pull this discussion group off topic for a moment...
For those of you who don't know me, I'm the founder and director of a newly formed non-profit organization called Ears To Our World (ETOW). ETOW's mission is to send self-powered shortwave radios to schools in the developing world--you may have seen us recently featured in the Dec. 2009 edition of Popular Communications. You can check us out at: http://earstoourworld.org Many of you have been watching and listening to the reports coming out of Haiti in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. As you can imagine, the need for information in Haiti is urgent and that means, of course, that radios are needed. In light of this crisis, ETOW has decided to temporarily broaden our mission; next week we will send a substantial number of ETOW radios (donated by Eton/Grundig) to Haiti via our partner, Operation USA. We are preparing our radios for shipment as rapidly as we can. As shortwave listeners, DXers and amateur radio operators, you know well the power of radio. If you'd like to help, please do what you can. Even a few bucks can help with our expedited shipping costs to get our radios to Haiti. Donations can be made via PayPal on our website ( http://earstoourworld.org) or you can send a check made to Ears To Our World at the address below. And if you have contacts or resources there, please contact me off list at: [email protected] Let's all do what we can to help these folks. Thank you & 73, Thomas KF4TZK Thomas Witherspoon Executive Director, Ears To Our World Ears To Our World / PO Box 3230 / Cullowhee, NC 28723 / USA http://earstoourworld.org ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Order your WRTH 2009: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2009 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
