Please forgive this off-topic post - I’m hoping some of your can provide some info. I’m about to take part in an International camp for Guides and Scouts in the UK, we will have 7000+ participants from all over the world. My bit is try to present emergency radio communications to groups that will visit our special event station (GB4WGS) throughout the week - by the end of 5 days, we should have been able to talk to all 7000!
I and a number of other amateurs want to get across to these youngster that mobile phones etc. aren’t always the means of communicating and to explain how valuable amateur radio is when you need it. I’m looking for information about recent disasters attended and help my the amateur radio community. I thought there would be a lot of facts and photos for Haiti earthquake, Boxing Day Tsunami and hurricane Katrina etc. on the Internet, but don’t seem to be able to find much. Things like the number of operators who worked after the disasters, how long for etc. Anything you could send in the next couple of days would be of great help. Any personal stories you’re willing for me to share etc? If it involves a K3, even better. Please don’t clutter the reflector with lots of mail - send direct to me please. I’ll try to acknowledge everything, but if I get a lot (I hope I do), it may take a couple of weeks before I can get back to you all.
