thanks for sharing this. It is important to show the general public that HAM relays are of great need during times of emergency.

WTF

[lydia308]

I made a couple of phone calls last week when I spotted a ham radio operator at the Wal Mart by my house. Hopefuly here soon I will be going to some monthly meetings and getting informed on ham radio operations and then taking the exam when I am ready for it. I was also wondering what I would have to do to be able to help out in emergencies such as what tech, general or extra license and I know there are books also on the subject any help will be appreciated.

@lydia308 - Local resources for this information are best. Your local ham radio club, ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) or RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) groups can tell you how to participate. Google your city and keywords "amateur radio" to find them.

An FCC license trumps any local laws or ordinances
