I put the clip on our web site for everyone to see but it seems that the
system will no longer allow me to post messages. Can you let everyone know?
The site is www.oknews.cc and you just click on 'web clips' and the link is
titled 'radio training'.
Thanks

-With the threat of war looming-- Oklahoma City emergency responders are
going back to the basics. --When disaster strikes like the May third
tornadoes.. -- Amateur radio is sometimes the only line of
communication. --Tonight-- Several dozen first responders started training
on the systems. --The technology is very old -- but it's often the most
reliable. Lots of times the telephones go down because they're so clogged
with people trying to call family members cell phones they only have so many
cell phone lines so those go down also --Amateur radio helped responders in
both the Oklahoma City bombing and the May third tornadoes.
