Amateurs Assist With American's United Flag Run:

"American's United Flag Run"--a grass roots effort sponsored by American Airlines and United Air Lines employees--is seeking help from the Amateur Radio community to provide short-range communications as the run progresses across the US along a southerly route. "This event is to honor the crew and passengers killed on September 11, to show the American Spirit and to raise money for relief funds already established," said American Airlines Captain Bill Lokes. Runners started in Boston on October 11 and are scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles November 11. Recently, hams in Georgia contributed their services to the cause as the flag run passed through that state. Georgia ARES--under the leadership of Section Emergency Coordinator Lowry Rouse, KM4Z--provided communications for the organizers from the South Carolina to the Alabama borders. The flag run Web site http://www.flagrun2001.org/ has a map, anticipated itinerary and more details about the event. Amateur Radio clubs or groups are invited to contact Bill Lokes, 610-767-9246; blokes@fast.net, or Gene Atwell at 215-348-1594; mailto:"atwell@mindspring.com".
