Amateur Radio Today Video

This is a video that was released some time ago with some great coverage of ham radio emergency service. After hurricane Katrina hit, I was checking out the ARRL web site and came across it. It has some great footage from the Hayman Fire, the largest Colorado wildfire in recorded history. This was close to home as I had helped out with comms for that fire and had been on standby to evacuate my home.
