When emergencies hit, amateur radio can get through

By ERIC RITTER
Correspondent

DELAND -- Thousands of lives were disrupted in the wake of 2004's Hurricane Frances as people sought food, cleared debris, repaired homes and checked on family and friends. Without power, almost all communication was disrupted.

When a Michigan amateur radio operator broadcast a call for help in finding his daughter who he hadn't heard from since the storm, his call was picked up by David Sutherland, a DeLand amateur radio operator monitoring his generator-powered radio.

Less than an hour later, after Sutherland had driven to the daughter's home, delivered her father's message and she had called her worried dad, the Michigan man radioed Sutherland to thank him.

W4ACA Website

Hello everyone,
 
With everything I have going on I need help maintaining the W4ACA website.
 
Some of you know I am volunteer firefighter with Andersonville Volunteer Fire Department.  This takes up most. if not all of my free time between answering calls (fire, MVA, and others calls) and training.  But it's about to get worse, I am going to be starting a first responder class which is a twice a week class for 5 hours both nights....  So I will not have anytime to work on the website.
 
At this point I am asking for volunteers to help maintain the site,  I will provide you the log in information or a direct email link to mail in articles without having to log in.  The site is set up to automate a lot of the functions but needs some manual input a few times a week to make it worth looking at.
 
If you would like to help me, email at the address below and we can talk and I can tell you what we want to have and NOT have on the site.
 
73,
