“Radio Amateurs Assisting in Wake of Indonesian Earthquake (12/9/16); Emergency Communication Exercise Uses “Hamsphere®” to Introduce Youth to Virtual Ham Radio (12/7/16); Amateur Radio Volunteers Providing Shelter Communication Support in Tennessee (11/30/16); Tennessee ARES on Standby in Wildfire Emergency, Local Amateur Radio Volunteers Assisting (11/29/16); Hurricane Watch Net Stands Down after Hurricane Otto Makes Landfall in Nicaragua (11/25/16)”
The article about a “Go-Box” station is particularly good, especially for those radio amateurs involved in the ARES, RACES, SATERN (Salvation Army), and MARS (Military Affiliate Radio Station) programs. Please consider building a simple, portable radio system in your spare time. You never know when an emergency will strike your community.
