[PVRCNC] Re: [PVRC] A great ham radio rescue story

[Jim Jordan, K4QPL]

That is a great story. The other thing that ARRL, FCC, and others should not 
lose sight of (more than they already have) is the fact that the assistance 
and rescue were accomplished through qrp cw and a makeshift antenna. Would 
or could that have been achieved if both ops were "no code" ssb? Go figure!

73,
