AFN2XC’s update on
AAN4ZH (Jack Satterfield-Port-au-Prince-Haiti).
More
progress today!
We
ran the first phone patches for AAN4ZH and this evening AFN2EC received a test Winlink E-mail from Jack.
Also
in this morning's set of contacts, Jack stated that the field hospital he's
with at the airport has not had direct communications with
the USNS Comfort hospital ship offshore. Jack came up on Marine CH.
16, contacted the ship, and the hospital was in direct comms
with the hospital all day.
He
said that emergency cases flowed into the hospital from the time they arrived
until 3:30 AM today and they got very little sleep last night. He was on the
air again at 7:30 EST this morning and ran patches until about 10:30. He came
up again on the PE at around 5:00 PM to give a short SITREP and said that he
was closing station for the night...hopefully to get some sleep and to get
ready for tomorrow.
Looks
like a very successful mission for MARS and the medical team Jack is
supporting!
73,
Jim
