Gary, Maybe down south there has been a plethora of publicity, but up north here we seldom heard of the ham efforts, if at all. Its as if its another world. All the press is showing up here is how New Orleans hasnt overcome their problems yet. They dont even talk much about Biloxi or Gulfport just New Orleans...
Its great to see and know that hams came together after all, thats one of the reasons were allowed such latitude with spectrum, etc. And public service is one of the reasons I got involved in ham radio. But the real story of amateur involvement in the Katrina ordeal has been lost to the masses - at least in my part of the country. Just my 2¢ worth...

Hams are in the news regularly for a variety of things we do. Of course, we could always use more. The ARRL has a Field Organization operation dedicated to ham radio PR.
