ROAR - Rotarians of Amateur RadioRotarians learn about ham radio operations and locals "read all about it" in their copy of The Sulphur Daily News. Whether it is a nationally declared state of emergency or a flat tire on the side of the road, amateur radio operations can be very useful. Lucky Young, member of Southwest Louisiana
Amateur Repeater Club, spoke to the Sulphur Rotary Club about the ham
radio process. He explained the various types of ham radio, its everyday
uses, and the growing advances in Young told Rotarians about his experience during Hurricane Rita. He said that he, along with seven other ham operators, stayed through the storm to assist in communications between residents and their families. The Southwest Louisiana Amateur Repeater Club is affiliated with the
American Red Cross, the Office of Emergency Preparedness, and several
other government authorized groups. The operators furnish information
to other local, state, and national operators during emergency situations. The club offers a chance to get to know other ham operators and participate in several festivals together. "It is very interesting and a lot of fun," Young said. "We thrive to serve our community and assist in whatever way possible." No matter what predicament you may find yourself in, ham operators are always on air lending a helping hand and providing communication assistance. Good one Lucky Young and maybe some new ROAR, Rotarians of Amateur Radio will come from this meeting of the Sulphur Rotary Club in the USA.
