"We started calling family members all across the country for these folks and saying, 'Hey, we talked to your loved one on ham radio, and they want you to know that they are alive and okay.'"

HAM's doing what Ham's do !
Don't let them fool you !

This is incorporating
Cutting Edge technology, and perhaps some old school ways bringing it all together !
And important to know, Amateur Radio Operators do this , voluntarily !
And have no pecuniary interest, by Law !
Truly unsung Heroes !
In an age where most have their heads bowed worshiping their cell phones, Amateurs are looking above and beyond the heads of their fellow Citizens !

Thank God for older technology! We still need it. This should be a lesson to all of us. We can’t get rid of all the old stuff. Just like there are mules carrying supplies into areas unreachable!
