Re: [Repeater-Builder] Hurricanes and news centers

[Mr. Edgar McKinney]

When there is an emergency in West Virginia and HAMs are called upon to fill in EMCOMM roles, All news agencies refuses to acknowledge that. Even Field Day dont get coverage or maybe a paragraph on the commics section. Ed - kb8qeu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  The news media in Atlanta has been quite active in running stories on amateur radio during this hurricane season. Three different stories have been done by three of our news stations. From the Georgia Section Manager: "There've been three good TV spots about amateur radio on the news in the Atlanta area in less than a one week span. ALEX CARVER, KF4LVZ, of the GA Tech ARC, was interviewed by channel 11, (NBC) followed by an interview the very next day on channel 5, (FOX) with another Tech club member, DAVID ZISKIND, KE4QLH, capped by a spot on channel 46 (CBS) with SEC MIKE BOATRIGHT, KO4WX, and MARK HOLMES, KJ4VO, of HRO. That's like hitting back to back to back homers! (OK, ABC.....)" Thanks to those television stations and hopefully we will continue to be recognized in the future.  Chris WilkieW1LKE         Yahoo!
