General amateur radio (ham radio) chat, questions, and news
I helped set up a phone patch for an Asheville resident Saturday morning.
Using the Intercon as a setup point and directed the stations to move off net frequency a bit to have their welfare conversation.
It worked! The party found a nearby local to Asheville, and the traffic was passed.

As fas as the mainstream media (M5M) are concerned, ham radio doesn’t exist. All I’ve heard about are heroic efforts to distribute Starlink terminals.
As past FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate, KK4INZ, said in Ham Radio Now Emcomm Extra #8, when an incident occurs “they just want their email to work.”
Is communication still limited? I have family that was in the path and I heard from them before, during, and after. I guess maybe they got lucky.
