[TWIAR] Query to the list: Southern California Earthquake Drill.

[Greg Williams]

This came in on my alerts for Ham radio, and I posted it to the RSS feed 
for TWIAR (the reader on the right side of the TWIAR home page has the 
article 2nd from the top):

http://www.ocregister.com/articles/strong-officers-operations-2227120-chp-county 


They mention ham radio being used but the article only briefly mentioned 
they were used to bridge communications and were employed after other 
systems went offline.
