Sure, we live in a “connected” society today. You have your cell phone and your car may have some method of communication. But what happens when you find yourself in a situation where service is unavailable? It could happen to anyone at any time.
We’ve all heard the cliché, “when all else fails, ham radio”.
Well, fortunately for this individual, there just happened to be a ham radio operator nearby. What if this had been you or someone you love?
Thankfully, he was able to report the accident and get help on the way.
Is it a hobby? Yes. Is ham radio a smart thing to have? Yes.
