Ohio Assistant Section Manager Connie Hamilton, N8IO, announced today
that the Ohio Single Side Band Net (OSSBN) will no longer take outgoing
Health and Welfare traffic going to the Hurricane Katrina area. Connie,
Net Manager for the OSSBN, said this action is taken until further
notice.

She further stated such traffic "probably would sit somewhere for weeks
without any means of delivery." This action is consistent with traffic
nets across the US, she said.

The OSSBN is the Ohio Section traffic net of record. It operates three
times daily on 3.9725 MHz at 10:30 a.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6:45 p.m.
Eastern Daylight Time.
