[Asterisk-Users] Helping communications to Asia area.

[Leo Salas]

I am an Amateur Radio Operator in Texas and I've been listening to the voice
emergency radio nets.  Anyone who knows a ham can help out by offering calls
through VoIP systems.  Contact your county or city emergency coordinator to
get information on who your Ham Radio Emergency Coordinators are.  Usually
the Emergency Coordinator for city and county will be sheriff, mayor, fire
or police chief.

A big thanks to all VoIP services assisting with communications!  Remember
Amateur Radio Operators do not take money for their communications service.
It's the law.

Salvation Army Emergency Response Team http://satern.org/ and the
International Red Cross
http://www.redcross.org/services/0,1103,0_313_,00.html 
use Ham Radio Operators tremendously during these types of events.  And ham
radio had really stepped up to the plate for this one.  For more news on ham
radio response, go to http://www.arrl.org/

And, maybe some Amatuer Radio operators (since there is now some sort
of radio interface.)
