On behalf of the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation, I would like to extend
a huge THANK-YOU to the contest community, including YCCC, for stepping up to
support the WWROF KP4 Generator Project. As you may recall, WWROF recently
authorized a matching contribution of $5,000 to be used to supply badly needed
generators to hams in Puerto Rico who continue to suffer from the lack of
electricity and basic services nearly 90 days after Hurricane Maria hit the
island.
As of today, WWROF has collected $12,505 (including our matching contribution),
which has enabled us to procure an initial quantity of generators and have them
delivered to well-known contester, Angel Vazquez, WP3R. Angel has confirmed the
generators have arrived at his house, where he jumped into action and met with
Puerto Rican State Convention members to assess the best places to deploy the
equipment to support radio communications and other critical needs.
WWROF is still collecting funds to support our program. For those fellow
contesters that would like to offer financial support, funds can be donated in
several different ways (please indicate that your donation is for the KP4
Generator Project, and include your mailing address and callsign for your
receipt). Remember that WWROF is an IRS-recognized 501(c)3 organization and
donations are tax-deductible for U.S. taxpayers to the extent allowed by law.
In summary:
* Use PayPal to send funds to donations@WWROF.org
* Go to http://wwrof.org/supporting-wwrof/ and click the DONATE button. You can
use most major credit cards to donate.
* Mail a check to:
WWROF Inc.
P. O. Box 529
Fredericksburg, TX 78624-0529, USA
For information about WWROF, please visit www.wwrof.org, or contact WWROF
Chairman, John Dorr, K1AR, via e-mail at: k1ar@wwrof.org.
Again, my personal thanks to the contest community and in particular for your
generosity.
Merry Christmas to all!
73, John, K1AR
Chairman, WWROF
