Ham Radio...Getting the message through for your family and community. According to FEMA, in a major emergency you and your family should plan on being totally on your own for up to four days! Without electricity, Internet, phone (and maybe 911 calls), how will YOU communicate? Becoming a Ham radio operator allows you to talk directly with other hams because each station is fully independent and can operate without any other infrastructure. You can assist your community and send messages to family in other areas.
Our services are being requested by a lot of local agencies and we are in need of operators, if you would be willing to volunteer your time and make a difference in your community please contact us!
