[HCDX] Help Humanitarian Radio in Haiti

[T Witherspoon <twitherspoon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, Radio Friends:

Thank you for letting me pull this discussion group off topic for a
moment...

For those of you who don't know me, I'm  the founder and director of a newly
formed non-profit organization called Ears To Our World (ETOW). ETOW's
mission is to send self-powered shortwave radios to schools in the
developing world--you may have seen us recently featured in the Dec. 2009
edition of Popular Communications. You can check us out at:

http://earstoourworld.org

Many of you have been watching and listening to the reports coming out of
Haiti in the aftermath of the recent earthquake. As you can imagine, the
need for information in Haiti is urgent and that means, of course, that
radios are needed. In light of this crisis, ETOW has decided to temporarily
broaden our mission; next week we will send a substantial number of ETOW
radios (donated by Eton/Grundig) to Haiti via our partner, Operation USA. We
are preparing our radios for shipment as rapidly as we can.

As shortwave listeners, DXers and amateur radio operators, you know well the
power of radio.  If you'd like to help, please do what you can.  Even a few
bucks can help with our expedited shipping costs to get our radios to
Haiti.  Donations can be made via PayPal on our website (
http://earstoourworld.org) or you can send a check made to Ears To Our World
at the address below. And if you have contacts or resources there, please
contact me off list at: thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Let's all do what we can to help these folks.

Thank you & 73,
Thomas
