"I don't want to open a can of worms but I think that it would be a good
idea to suspend contests for the time being while the recovery efforts are
getting underway."
Probably not a bad idea. Based on the frequencies to avoid that were
provided by Ward, it appears that all the traffic is being handled by SSB
nets, so suspension could be limited to phone contests.
Looking at the month of September, the next contest and one that could be
very disruptive is WAE Phone the weekend of the 11th. Then through the end
of the month there are 4 or 5 state QSO parties, Scandinavian Activity SSB,
and the SSB Sprint. The very beginnng and end of Oct have fone contests that
could be very disruptive as well.
One has to wonder how quickly the health and welfare traffic in and out of
the Gulf will taper off.
