Activation

[ke5egi]

The Texas State Guard has been activated and are sending out commo units to assist in Hurricane Dean and are being stationed at Kelly AFB in San Antonio.
Our local ham radio club has called up those of us who are being deployed to assist with radio comm. should it be needed.

Now it all depends on where Hurricane Dean decides to go.

That explains the convoys I saw heading south on I35 today, I'll bet. Big convoys, too.

The more they revise the forecast, the more south into Mexico they move Dean's landfall. I think it will miss Texas.

Oh yeah. I don't remember the number of people, buses etc that are coming from Dallas and Gov. Perry has put in motion the emergency prep plan for the Tx National & State Guard units.

Unless Dean makes a turn to the north, right now it looks like south Texas will get rain and winds but not to badly.

Just remember you can't x-mit on 11m outside the US.

Thanks for reminding me. I forgot all about that.
Well, if I do get called to duty, it would be at Kelly AFB in San Antonio and x-mit here in the US, and if I get to stay here, all comm traffic will be the same.

Ack.. ment to say "to someone outside the US"

Don't sweat it. I knew what you meant. :-)
