[LARC-CQ] H. Helene and Comm plans

[Jim Stewart, W4XDS]

Robert - we currently don't have access to the church's Internet, but let me see if we can set something up using a Zoom on cellular service. If nothing else, maybe can record it and put it on the blog.

73,

>> As an amateur radio operator, it pains me to say that I have not established a plan, and I have family in Alabama and up in Western North Carolina. It has been a tough couple of days trying to find out if they are ok and what I can do to help them, especially since I sit here with running water, AC and a working toilet, as some of them don't even have cell coverage or even a means to charge a phone - and won't for awhile.
>>
>> Those of you that do have established plans, would you be willing to share them with the club at our October meeting? It may go along way with helping a fellow ham establish a plan with his or her family.
>>
>> Let me know, and if you want to include any slides in a presentation I can set that up.
