You Can Be a Helping Ham

Not only are Amateur Radio Operators known for helping each other (Elmering), we help our communities with Public Service even when disasters have not occurred.  This great video provides insight as to why we do what we do for the good of our nation, our communities, and our neighbors.  This video references a popular event in the Upper Penisula of Michigan.

The Lone Ranger Wellness Net

The net was created as a daily check-in for members of the amateur radio community, no matter their QTH, who wish to have someone check in on them to make sure they’re OK. So, if you live alone, you are disabled, if you need some help with a chore, or you’re just wanting someone to check in on you, then this net is here for you.

Join us nightly on the Chattanooga TN repeater 146.790 or on Echolink Node 79190.
