[SJRA-Members] K4SWL Presentation for Holmesburg ARC

[Dennis Dura]

I saw this presentation last year at the HamXposition in
Massachusetts...Thomas did a great job describing his trials and
tribulations in North Carolina. It's well worth you time.

"When the Grid Fails: A Ham's Experience Post-Hurricane Helene"

When Hurricane Helene tore through western North Carolina in the fall of
2024, the damage was swift, unexpected, and widespread. In this photo-rich
presentation, Thomas Witherspoon, K4SWL, will share his firsthand account
of the storm’s aftermath and how amateur radio played a crucial role in
staying connected when everything else failed. He will also offer practical
advice for operators—no matter where they live—on how to prepare for
natural disasters, build resilient communication setups, and foster
stronger local networks. Even if you think you’re “out of harm’s way,”
consider this your wake-up call to be ready.
