I run a list that's comprised about equally of Americans and Canadians, and several of the latter have expressed their kind thoughts for those of us in the States. It means a lot. BTW, what sources of current news do the residents of ISS have? I doubt that NASA would want to tie up the standard audio loop with traffic that's not directly related to the mission. They have a fax-machine sort of thing, right? Don't they also have secondary audio channels where they can talk with people on the ground about non-mission-related topics?

No words can express the revulsion and horror we feel here in Australia for the act of cowardice that took so many innocent lives. There are no words one can say to make it any better and in fact to try is worse. Also we cannot say we can understand what you are going through because we simply cannot. Please accept that your are in our hearts and our prayers and we think of you constantly. Australia and America have always been very close and we feel your loss keenly. Take care and Stay Well.

It warmed my heart to read your kind post and your heart felt words. I was at the doctors office when I saw the buildings on fire and all the tv coverage. It brought great sadness. I did not have any of my family there but my wife, sister and myself were just in Washington a few weeks before. I was looking at the pentigon building. I am sure that the terroist would hate to see how we have been supported by our friends like yourself. We thank you for your prayers and thoughts and I am sure the family of those victims would also.

God Bless you my friend and brother Ham operator Rick Wallis KA4VHV ka4vhv@earthlink.net Bill: Thanks for the kind words. Below are a few of my words. On December 7, 1941, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's plan for attacking Pearl Harbor was put into effect, despite his objections. After the attack, while other Japanese commanders were celebrating their victory, Yamamoto told a fellow officer, "I feel all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." The giant has been sleeping for almost 60 years but was awakened again on September 11, 2001 with the same terrible resolve when faceless cowards committed acts of war against the United States. 73, Al WA8LBZ Gahanna, Ohio ------------------------ Yahoo!

Thank You, and God Bless America! 73 De John N8QGC ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy Herrera XE2MZS SeRe: 9K2USA Dt: Sept 16th, 2001 Effective Sept 15th 2001, the Kuwait Amateur Radio Society (KARS), in conjunction with the Kuwait Ministry of Communications, has authorized the use of the callsign 9K2USA. All Radio Amateurs of Kuwait will be using this single callsign. NINE KILO TWO UNITED STATES of AMERICA will be heard on all bands, all modes being used by all Kuwait Amateurs simultaneously. As a small token of the sympathy and support for the people of the United States from the citizens of Kuwait, and as an expression of deep condolence, the callsign will be used until the end of September. For the past few days many people have asked me to comment on the feeling and mood in Kuwait. People ask after my safety, and express concern for me being here in the Middle East. It is hard for me to describe the genuine outpouring of concern, sympathy and support that is shown to me; not only by Kuwaitis, but people of all Asian nationalities. People stop me in the street and ask "Are you an American? I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am ..". At the gas station yesterday, I had to argue with the cashier to take my money (after he heard my accent) -- Now that would be nice if it happened at home. Kuwaiti friends and colleagues in the Kuwait Army call me twice a day (and visit me once a day) to check that my wife and I are safe, and that we have all the comforts we need. In a rather unnerving event two days ago, a car pulled me over on the freeway. The driver (a Kuwaiti who spoke impeccable English) came over to my car and asked "Are you American? I just wanted to express my horror .." Am I safe? You bet. The Kuwaitis will make sure of it. Having a couple of aircraft carriers, and squadrons of fighter jets, and many thousands of US troops close by helps too! The Kuwait Amateur Radio Society (KARS) will be doing the QSL chores. They will put together a common database, and all QSLs will be via 9K2RA. The e-mail address for KARS is 9K2RA@KARS.ORG. May I suggest that an e-mail to them expressing your personal feeling (good or bad) may be appropriate. 9K2USA is not 'my' callsign. This callsign is for all people of the United States of America, and those of all nationalities who have been affected (directly or indirectly) by the tragic events of this past Tuesday. I will not be posting my 9K2USA QSOs on-line as I do with my other 'personal' callsigns. The actual QSL card to be used for 9K2USA will be chosen by the Kuwait Amateur Radio Society. However, I will post my personal 9K2USA card on my website within the next 24 hours. This is a blank QSL card, and can be copied from www.k4cy.com (just click on the 9K2USA link). While the artwork and/or text is not original, I believe it appropriately reflects the situation.

No ahondaré en esto. Pero todos los días desde el mismo día 10, por internet hemos estado recibiendo muestras de dolor de radioaficionados de los lugares mas apartados del planeta: Rusia, India, Sudamérica, Polonia, Irlanda, México, Argentina, etc. El mensaje que mas me conmovió, fue el de una mexicana, de Colima, hija de un gran radioaficionado (que en paz descanse) Alejandro Vázquez Schiaffino, XE1IO, que radica desde hace varios años en Los Angeles, California, y que por su contenido, voy a darle lectura. Lo escribió el mismo martes: “No tengo palabras para expresar todo lo que hoy siento...asombro, estupor, coraje, tristeza, consternación, disgusto, indignación, en fin!!! no terminaría de enumerar toda la gran confusión de sentimientos que estoy experimentando. A partir de hoy no sólo se escribe una página negra en la historia de esta gran nación, podríamos inclusive atrevernos a vaticinar que este será "...el principio del gran fin". Sin llegar a caer en el dramatismo... Estados Unidos hoy se enfrenta ante una gran provocación, que no quedará impune, Estados Unidos es hoy como un tigre herido, y a un tigre herido hay que temerle aún sabiéndonos sus amigos, no hay justificación, no hay pretextos, quizá inclusive no haya perdón. Iniciamos una nueva Era, una nueva Etapa, una nueva Época...tenemos que acostumbrarnos al "antes" y al "después". Porque yo sin temor a equivocarme creo que a partir de HOY, ya nada será igual, tenemos que concientizarnos que a partir de AHORA tenemos que aprender a vivir con éste gran dolor y con ésta gran vergüenza para la humanidad. Es algo que va más allá de la comprensión y raciocinio. Muchas preguntas que no tienen respuesta. Efectivamente Estados Unidos, no se quedará con los brazos cruzados y si esto no tiene un equilibrio en las decisiones que se tomen en las próximas horas, esto será apenas el inicio de un holocausto. No debemos de llenarnos de pánico, ya que aún cuando nos encontramos ante situaciones inevitables, lo mejor es sólo tener paz en nuestros corazones. Es muy triste...es muy lamentable ser testigos reales de estos hechos que marcan la historia mundial, no quiero decir que nos resignemos ante ésta clase de "barbarie", pero si debemos de sentirnos fuertes ante estas embestidas y sacar valor espiritual para superarlas. Debemos de conservar la calma y la cordura, sin olvidarnos de todas esas personas, víctimas inocentes, que han tenido que sufrir y pagar las consecuencias de ésta tragedia. En el transcurso de estas primeras horas aquí en Los Angeles, se ha respirado un ambiente algo "extraño" "diferente", las oficinas gubernamentales tanto Federales como Estatales han suspendido sus actividades y han sido evacuadas, se encuentran acordonadas y resguardadas por la guardia nacional. Estamos en estado de ALERTA. Mientras escribo éstas líneas y al mismo tiempo escucho sin cesar las noticias que no dejan de mantenernos estupefactos, los últimos cortes televisivos indican de que hay ataques contra Afganistan, en donde Estados Unidos desmiente que tenga algo que ver en el asunto. El caso es que mañana será otro día, un nuevo día, en el cual iniciaremos nuestras actividades cotidianas y quizá la vida se restablezca en su totalidad, pero nuestra memoria conservará de manera perenne esas imágenes dantescas vividas el día de: HOY MARTES SEPTIEMBRE 11, 2001 "Estamos viviendo una calma intranquila, una calma incierta..." Con amor, Irma G. Vázquez Garfias”. Unos minutos más tarde de recibir esta carta, su primo Carlos E. Levy, XE1YK, destacado radioaficionado mexicano, le contestó lo siguiente: “Querida prima, mi muy querida Irma!!! Leí tu mensaje... qué profundo, qué humano, y qué hermoso, dentro del dolor que tenemos todos. Este 11 de Septiembre va a ser imborrable en nuestras mentes. Muchos estadounidense, latinos, europeos y de otras nacionalidades fallecieron sin deberla ni temerla en Nueva York. Fue terrible. Aun no sé si también fallecieron mexicanos. Pero lo que pasó fue inadmisible, inaceptable, criticable, y todos debemos levantar nuestras voces protestando en contra de esos actos terroristas. Murieron cientos de gentes inocentes y NO SE VALE. Guardo un minuto de silencio en memoria de los que hoy murieron. Me indigna esto y le pido a Dios que a todos los que perdieron a un familiar pueden lograr pronto la resignación y que no pierdan la fe en ÉL y en sus designios. Estoy anonadado. Como mexicano, como terrestre, como internacionalista... estoy indignado y molesto. Aparte de lo que te acabo de decir, quiero compartir contigo todas las cosas que dijiste y que me impactaron sobremanera. Si las repito, es porque me llegaron al corazón. Las comparto contigo, íntegramente. Sé que amas a Estados Unidos y a su gente y ante eso quisiera estar a tu lado para darte un grande abrazo y expresarte mi solidaridad, mi malestar, mi impotencia y mi indignación. Las oraciones son, ahora, más que nunca, necesarias, imprescindibles, para la paz mundial y para el eterno descanso de los que murieron en esta tragedia. Inocentes que serán recordados eternamente, esperando que su sangre haya servido para evitar el fin del planeta. Con cariño, tu primo. Carlos E.

Haynie also praised the actions of Amateur Radio volunteers. "The shock and horror of yesterday morning's events are still fresh in our minds," Haynie said the day after the September 11 terrorist attacks. "Radio amateurs in New York City and elsewhere around the country are doing everything they can to support the authorities in locating and assisting victims. We know that there are many among us who have been touched personally by these tragedies, but there is comfort in knowing that we are not alone in our grief." "Never have I felt more strongly about what a great privilege it is to be a part of the extraordinary global community of Amateur Radio," Haynie concluded. Messages of support arrived throughout the week at ARRL Headquarters from International Amateur Radio Union member societies and from individual amateurs around the world. Japan Amateur Radio League President Shozo Hara, JA1AN, expressed "great shock and dismay" at the attacks in New York and Washington and offered "heartfelt condolences to the victims and families of the victims" as well as any assistance JARL could offer. Deutscher Amateur-Radio Club Managing Director Bernd Haefner, DB4DL, relayed similar sentiments. "At this horrible time, we all are Americans," he wrote. ARRL Vice President Kay Craigie, WT3P, noted that, on a day when many Americans were rushing home to be with their families, many radio amateurs were assisting in the emergency response. "Compared to the sacrifices by emergency responders in New York City and at the Pentagon, it was a small thing, yet a thing that should not go without notice." ==>AMATEURS AMONG THE MISSING IN WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACK At least four Amateur Radio operators are among the many still missing in the aftermath of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. The attack also destroyed the major TV and radio transmitting site atop one of the twin towers. The hams reported missing so far include: * Steven A. "Steve" Jacobson, N2SJ, 53, of New York City, a transmitter engineer for WPIX TV, and an ARRL member. * William V. "Bill" Steckman, WA2ACW, of W Hempstead, New York, a transmitter engineer for WNBC TV. He was well know in the NYC area and ran a number of repeaters from the World Trade Center, most notably the 434 MHz ATV repeater. * Robert D. "Bob" Cirri Sr, KA2OTD, 39, an ARRL member from Nutley, New Jersey and the ARRL District Emergency Coordinator for Hudson County. A Port Authority police officer, Cirri was on the job helping to evacuate workers from the building when it collapsed. * Michael G. Jacobs, AA1GO, 54, an ARRL member from Danbury, Connecticut. Jacobs worked at Fiduciary Trust Company International, which had offices in the World Trade Center. The collapse of the World Trade Center brought down the master TV transmitting antenna that served all but one television station in New York City, as well as several radio stations and amateur repeaters. "The broadcast community is in absolute shock," said Hudson Division Vice Director Steve Mendelsohn, W2ML, who works for ABC News. "We all knew transmitter engineers, we all knew people who worked up in those towers near those big television transmitters, and they're gone." Mendelsohn said many viewers in the Greater New York City Area who are not on cable can only see WCBS, channel 2, which maintains its transmitter site on the Empire State Building. WCBS has offered assistance and space to help the other stations get back on the air from its site, he said. "None of the other transmitters exist anymore. They're in the rubble along with the master antenna system, hundreds and hundreds of two-way radio system antennas, and boxes and, of course, untold thousands of people who perished." There was cause for rejoicing in the case of another amateur who worked in the World Trade Center. Rob Nall, WV0S, reports that his friend, Herman Belderok, Jr, KB0EEB, managed to get out of the building just minutes before the structure collapsed. recopila xe2ngt The Tuesday morning tragedies in New York and Washington resulted in a significant number of injuries and deaths leaving millions of Americans searching for ways to help. Numerous federal and local agencies along with private organizations are seeking assistance from the public. In a voluntary corporate effort, YesMail offers the following information as a resource for helping victims.

Awful. Heartbreaking. Two weeks after terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., the crew of the International Space Station gave the world a glimpse Tuesday of the range of emotion they felt peering down on the aftermath from a perch some 240 miles (384 kilometers) above Earth. "I think our reactions were the same as everybody around the world," station skipper Frank Culbertson said during the crew's first television interview since three hijacked airliners smashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and a fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. "That was a very tragic and awful event, and we hope it's never repeated again." Added veteran Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Dezhurov: "We saw it from space, and it was a very, very bad day." Launched to the station in August, Culbertson and his crew were in the midst of a radio conference with flight surgeons when the onslaught of the Sept. 11 assault began with two commercial airliners slamming into twin 110-story World Trade Center towers. Culbertson said a doctor "interrupted the conference to tell us what was happening, and shortly after that, we happened to go over the northeastern United States and were able to see New York City." Wielding video cameras, the U.S. astronaut and his cosmonaut colleagues captured startling images of the carnage. The video subsequently were beamed down to ground controllers and replayed on NASA TV. "There was a large plume of smoke coming from Lower Manhattan and streaming off to the south," Culbertson said. "We were too far away to see much in the way of detail, but we could see where in the city it was, and there also was a shroud of smoke over the large part of the city," he added. "I think we were seeing it shortly after one of the towers had collapsed." His reaction? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It was quite a disturbing sight," Culbertson said. "It was something to see, and very heartbreaking." Back on Earth, the first inclination of many people was to call family and friends -- to check in with loved ones as news of the devastating attack began to sink in. And despite their comparative isolation, Culbertson and his crewmates felt the same way. "It's no different than anybody else who is away from home during serious events like this," the retired U.S. Navy captain and former military test pilot said. "For people in the military who have done this for centuries, this is a thing you have to learn to deal with. For us in space, it's similar." The station trio, he said, has been keeping in touch and up-to-date via e-mail and space-to-ground radio chats with flight controllers, family and friends. "We were able to keep up with it pretty well and talk with our families occasionally about how they were feeling and what was going on down there," Culbertson said. The view from on high, meanwhile, is providing Culbertson and his colleagues with a different perspective on a world that now seems to be poised for an extended war on terrorism. "For me personally, flying in space is always an experience that opens my eyes and makes me not take things for granted. It makes me appreciate the world we live in," Culbertson said. "Obviously, we have huge disagreements with certain people in the world, and the fact that we are not able to resolve those is very sad and very tragic at this point," he added. "But you can see from up here in space that it's a small and fragile world in many ways, as solid a rock as it is. And if we don't learn how to work together on it, we're going to have huge problems in the future." On a brighter note, Culbertson and his crew -- which includes Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Turin -- say they have adapted well to weightlessness aboard the 17-story station, where the trio is entering the seventh week of a planned four-month research tour. "It's great living up here. It's a lot of fun to be weightless and not have to walk -- I haven't sat in a chair for almost two months. But you have to get used to it because it's a lot different than down on Earth," Culbertson said. "I personally felt pretty clumsy when I first came aboard the station and saw how easily the second expedition crew moved around and how quickly they got from one end to the other, and now I feel pretty natural here too." Added Turin: "It just took me a few days and now I can fly." Culbertson, Dezhurov and Turin have a busy two months ahead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A new Russian docking compartment arrived at the station nine days ago, and the astronauts and cosmonauts will perform three spacewalks in October and early November to outfit it externally. Also in work: some 50 U.S., European and Russian science experiments that are to be wrapped up prior to the crew's return to Earth aboard shuttle Endeavour, which now is set for launch Nov. 29 on a 11-day round-trip to the outpost. "We're scheduled to be picked up by the shuttle in early December, so we're hoping to be home for Christmas," Culbertson said. "But if not, we're ready to stay longer if necessary." As it stands, Culbertson and his crewmates are due back on Earth Dec. 10. ===================================== 73 de Alan *-----------------------------------------------------------------* | Packet: ZL2VAL@ZL2AB.#46.NZL.OC APRS: =3903.39S/17406.40E] | | E-mail: zl2val@qsl.net Snail mail address: http://www.qrz.com | *-----------------------------------------------------------------* - I am becoming increasingly worried that there isn't enough anxiety in my life.

SATERN Amateur Radio Liaison Officer Jeff Schneller, N2HPO, says the operation wrapped up October 18. The Salvation Army now is relying on Nextel and cellular telephone service. During its five weeks of service, several dozen Amateur Radio operators from all over the US assisted the Salvation Army's relief efforts. REACT International provided volunteers in the early weeks of the activation. Ham radio primarily was used to provide logistical support for the organization's canteens and feeding centers. Among the more recent volunteers were Steve and Kim Merrill, KB1DIG and KB1GTR, from New Hampshire. They did a tour of duty October 7-18. Working anywhere from 10 to 14 hours a day, the couple called their time in New York City "a very humbling experience." "There was so much devastation," the Merrills recounted. "Nothing read in the newspapers or seen on TV could have prepared us for the actual sight of all of this." The Merrills said they came away from their SATERN volunteer experience feeling as though they had "lived a lifetime in a few short days," but with "friendships that will last a lifetime" and "stories that have no end." "Salvation Army SATERN is to be commended," they said. "They were more than nice to us. We felt like a part of a family!" Schneller has urged all Amateur Radio operators to prepare for the future by first getting acquainted with and joining their local ARES or SATERN teams, then by taking the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Course ;. STS-108 Report # 08 Sunday, Dec. 9, 2001 – 7 a.m. CST Waking up to the patriotic tune of "It's A Grand Ole' Flag"performed by the Fire Department of New York Emerald Society Pipes & Drums, Endeavour’s crew was awakened at 6:14 a.m. CST today. The Expedition Four crew on board the International Space Station was awakened about a half hour later by a wake-up tone on board. A New York firefighter presented Pilot Scott Kelly with today’s wake-up music when Kelly visited the World Trade Center site with former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin shortly after the September 11 attacks. All the astronauts and cosmonauts on board Endeavour and the International Space Station will take time today to remember the victims, their families and rescue workers in a special message from space, at 4:24 p.m. CST today. Commander Dom Gorie, Kelly, Mission Specialists Linda Godwin and Dan Tani, Expedition Three Commander Frank Culbertson, Pilot Vladimir Dezhurov and Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin, Expedition Four Commander Yury Onufrienko, and Flight Engineers Carl Walz and Dan Bursch will all gather in the Destiny laboratory aboard the station to display a U.S. flag and take a moment to honor the victim’s families and survivors of the attacks. Coordinated through the “Flags for Heroes and Families” campaign, which was initiated by Former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin, several American flags are being flown aboard the space shuttle Endeavour. Those flags include 6,000 small U.S. flags, one U.S. flag that was recovered from the debris of the World Trade Center, a Marine Corps flag that was retrieved from the Pentagon, and an American flag from the State of Pennsylvania. Also onboard, is a large New York Fire Department flag, 23 replica New York Police Department shields, and 91 New York Police Department patches. Those items are stowed away in the shuttle and will be distributed upon Endeavour’s return to Earth. The crew’s activities today will focus on continuing transfer of several hundred pounds of equipment and supplies from the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module that was attached to the station yesterday. Transfer of equipment, supplies and experiments to and from the shuttle mid deck is already complete. Today, Godwin and Tani will also check out and prepare the tools they will use for Monday’s scheduled spacewalk. The next STS-108 mission status report will be issued about 6 p.m. today or as events warrant. recopila xe2ngt monterrey, nl., mexico 9XII01
