ARRL is making available a 30-second radio public service announcement (PSA)
to highlight that ham radio has been on the air throughout the Hurricane
Katrina crisis, passing emergency communications when other systems failed.
Dozens of stations across the country already are playing earlier ARRL
"mini-commercials" for ham radio, and the numbers keep growing. You can help
by listening to, then downloading, the latest PSA from the ARRL Web site
here onto a CD and taking it to your local radio stations. To download the
MP3 file, right click on the above link and choose "Save Target." The latest
30-second PSA was made possible by Johnny Donovan at WABC (770 AM) and
Howard Price, KA2QPJ, of WABC-TV (Channel 7), both in New York City. Price
is acting president of the Broadcast Employees Amateur Radio Society
(BEARS), the ham radio organization at ABC TV and Radio in New York City and
an ARRL Special Service Club. Donovan voiced the PSA.
