Good evening everyone,
Channel 5 ran a story about amateur radio emergency communications
potential; they focused on amateur television, also known as Fast Scan ATV
C3F.  I didn't catch any names or call signs, but the general press was
good.  The Charles county tornados was used as an example of amateur radio
response, and they pointed out that the EOC (presumable the EOC for the city
of Laurel or PG County) had space reserved specifically for amateur radio
operators and equipment.  I don't see the story posted to their website
www.fox5dc.com; maybe they will have something up there tomorrow.
