Subject: Bilingual Relay Stations Needed

In the recent requests for volunteers from the Red Cross and Salvation Army, a common thread is that bilingual skills are really helpful.  The Hurricane Watch Net, SATERN, and Caribbean Emergency Nets can use relay stations to just stand by on frequency to help out with weak signals or with translating/handling Spanish-language traffic.  Stations on the West Coast can also help when the bands "go long" to the west and East Coast/Midwest stations lose propagation. Please pass this along to your contest club members with good stations and ask them to tune to the nets and see if they can help if they are looking for a way to contribute.
