Paul,

You've made an excellent point, and folks in Abbeville won't likely expect 
you to be up
and running in case of a prolonged power outage.

KXEL is a different matter!

I didn't listen to WWL-870 broadcasts during Katrina. Had bigger problems, 
then.
But I think, from what I read and heard, that THAT was a class act!
