SATERN issues call for disaster-zone ham radio teams

The Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) is seeking 10 two-operator Amateur Radio teams for deployment in the US Gulf Coast. Operators must hold at least a General class license. Teams should be fully self sufficient in terms of food, water and lodging and plan to remain in the disaster area for from one to two weeks. Teams should be equipped with HF and, preferably, VHF/UHF, gear and will check in through SATERN's Jackson, Mississippi, marshaling area. The primary mission of the SATERN volunteer teams will be to get health-and-welfare traffic out of the storm and flood-stricken areas and, if possible, handle incoming H&W traffic as well. The Salvation Army continues to ramp up its disaster relief effort and is sending more than 100 meal and relief stations into the affected areas where the need is the greatest. Do not self deploy! Prospective volunteers should contact SATERN Liaison Jeff Schneller, N2HPO, Katrina@satern.us; 917-226-1339 or 347-680-9059.
