RE: Ham radio has 'Field Day' with disaster prepBy Anonymous on July 5, 2008, 9:48 pmLooking at some of the comments from un-knowledgable individuals, Ham radio needs a major education program for the general public. That "gentleman" with the junky alarm clock needs a new one. I assume it is a clock radio. Forget it, life's too short.

It is required to have atBy Anonymous on July 14, 2008, 3:08 pmIt is required to have at least one person to be a ham operator for any business doing Healthcare - more specifically Medicare. So, many businesses are assigning this task to their IT department.

Ham RadioBy Anonymous on July 7, 2008, 10:30 amLooks like the "gentleman" that posted on 7/5 is the one that needs educating. Ham radio has been shown very publically, especially in times of emergency. I have seen numerous articles and TV interviews on the subject. Unfortunately, many people either tune it out, or change the channel. Ham radio is very current, with digital technology evolving every day. I would invited "anonymous" to contact a local ham radio operator and have him to show him what he does. I think he would find it very facinating, and he knows, he may decide to get a license. It's easier that ever before and the hobby can always use some more good operators. Yes,I'm biased, I've been a ham radio operator for over 30 years and have been involved in countless emergencies.
