The stories mentioned in this article plus numerous other life saving calls has prompted me to achieve acquisition of an amateur ham radio license. I have wanted to add a hand-held ham radio to add to my backpacking and overland camping gear just in case of emergencies as cell phone communication is often non-existent. The Motorola two way radios I presently use are not the most reliable means of communication either. I will seek any courses offered in the Richmond, VA area. The aforementioned articles or stories of lives saved…great reason to get it done!
