On the subject of emergency support... My local club did a documentary a bunch of years ago about how the club turned to and helped with a local flood. It was in the archives when I was Archivist, so we got it converted into a video file and posted it on YouTube (with the club's permission). Since then, it has gotten a lot of views, and is one of the ways we help promote ham radio in our area. The beginning is a more modern introduction to the documentary: https://youtu.be/xYx8VNzYwRE
But I also like to call attention to Clinton B. DeSoto's book "Calling CQ", a bunch of great stories about how ham radio helped during disasters and other emergencies. I helped curate it, with the permission of his estate. You can read it at the Internet Archive, here: https://archive.org/details/CallingCq-AdventureOfShort-waveRadioOperators Then there's the 1939 "Pete Smith Specialty" short film by MGM called "Radio Hams". It's very similar to the stories in Calling CQ, and I think some of the segments were based on them. It's a little hokey, but the subject matter is good. https://youtu.be/1BPcpQMbUPE 73, Gwen, NG3P On Tue, Dec 24, 2019 at 6:01 PM Clay Autery <k...@montac.com> wrote: > EXCEPT in the case of those belonging to the group having the 6% > "Importance Factor". > They consider themselves too important to go along with ANYTHING, to > include rules, laws, et al. > > They require all statistics rounded to the nearest integer..... > > ...except during leap years when the decimal portion of all figures is > merely truncated. > > Sorry.... it's Christmas Eve! > > MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of my Elecraft Friends and Family!!! > > ______________________ > Clay Autery, KY5G > (318) 518-1389 > > On 24-Dec-19 09:44, W8JH wrote: > > > > >Who validated your 83.295%, Fred? > > > > I can vouch for the 83.295% and add that it is well known that > 89.774852% of > > people readily accept more specific statistics. > > > > > > > > > > ----- > > 73, > > > > Joe, W8JH > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to ard...@gmail.com -- -+-+-+-+- Jenny Everywhere's Infinite: Quark Time http://quarktime.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
