I received this today from the SBE email reflector.  This is an 
EXTREMELY desperate situation. If you can help, please call THEM, don't 
respond to me. :)

I am sure most of you are aware that in the wake of Hurricanes Irma and 
Maria, Puerto Rico has been devastated. According to Jose Ribas, 
executive director of the Puerto Rico Broadcasters Association (PRBA), 
most of the island's radio stations are off the air. They are working 
desperately to get these stations back on the air to provide Puerto 
Rican citizens with emergency information and a connection to the 
outside world.

Through the National Association of Broadcasters, PRBA is asking for 
help. They desperately need donations of time and material to make 
repairs in order to get their radio stations back on the air. Contract 
engineers are also needed. If you can help, please contact David Layer 
by email or phone (202-429-5339) at NAB Headquarters as soon as possible.

On behalf of the SBE, our thanks to you for any assistance you are able 
to provide.
