Subject: [RTTY] AA5AU off the air indefinitely
> Tuesday I went back to check on the house. It didn't look too bad from
the outside, despite both towers being down. But when I went inside, it was
a mess. I have major roof damage and rain water caused the ceiling to fall
in 4 rooms. House is not livable right now.
>
> Used 4 tarps on the roof on Tuesday, drove back to Lafayette Tuesday night
for more tarps and a shop vac. Went back Wednesday and spent Wednesday
night at the house with my generator providing power. Finished roof
covering on Wednesday - ended up using eleven tarps. Got one of my towers
off my neighbor's roof yesterday. Much more work to do when they allow us
back in. They've locked Jefferson Parish down until further notice.

> Pictures at http://aa5au.com/katrina/katrina.html. There will be more
pictures on this page when I get time. Right now have to go to the tent
where the insurance company is handing out dispersement checks.

> Looks like I'll be off the air for a while although I did put up my HF2
vertical Wednesday night (I had taken it down before the storm) thinking I
was going to have to get someone on 40 meters to call my wife to let her
know I was OK, when all of sudden my cellphone started to work. But it only
works at night for some reason.

> More updates as warranted. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes.
It's encouraging to know I have so many wonderful radio friends out there
and it does help.
