Senator thanks radio amateurs

WLOX TV News reports *Sen. Roger Wicker* has thanked ham radio operators
for their lifesaving role during Hurricane Katrina

When Hurricane Katrina knocked out communication services on the Coast,
amateur radio operators provided many people with their only contact to the
outside world. On Friday, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker came to South Mississippi
to personally thank the operators who played a critical role during the
disaster. There was another reason behind his visit.

Wicker made his first amateur radio contact Friday. It was a special one to
commemorate Hurricane Katrina.

"This is Kilo 5 Alpha, K5A, special events station for the 10th anniversary
of Hurricane Katrina," Wicker announced over the radio.

Wicker picked up some new communication skills during a visit with some ham
operators at the Central Jackson County EOC building in Vancleave.

"It's a good opportunity for us to thank the amateur radio operators for
their role in helping the public and helping to save lives and helping to
get information out that was vitally needed," said Wicker.
