Amateur radio has a proud history --- and future -- of helping those in need....even in this world of cell phones and computers.

No, but when most of the communications infrastructure is down, Amateur Radio operators can get messages through (health and welfare, supplies for Red Cross, logistical calls, etc.) just by setting up quick portable stations. All that is required for worldwide communication is a small transceiver (transmitter and receiver in one), and a simple wire antenna strung between 2 trees or buildings! It is foolproof, direct, and effective. Hams were there for 9/11 as well.

i don;t think the people buried under the buildings will be trying to talk to americans on the radio at this point.

If you are a licensed HAM you can D/L echolink and monitor the traffic from IRESC on node 278173.

Ham Radio (Amateur Radio) is a very valuable resource, especially in times like this. Every country should have a cadre of licensed, experienced Hams at the ready should an emergency arise and require quick, reliable, fail-safe, and direct communications!
