Reno TV station honors Ham Radio emcomm

Ham radio operators providing emergency communications were the theme of a 2 minute news report over NBC television affiliate KRNV in Reno, Nevada.

One of those featured was Amateur Radio Newsline's Don Carlson, KQ6FM, who explained to reporter Lemor Shlomof the way in which hams helped loved ones learn about the health and welfare in a disaster area.

The story also featured Jack Goetz, WA2FDK, who has been a ham since 1934 reminiscing about the old days of the hobby.

This was a very positive story about ham radio at a truly fun time of year.
