W3VPR In The Community -- Amateur Radio To The Rescue
Today (July 22, 2020), an alert amateur radio operator (an AARC member) was able to do a radio assist to a fellow HAM in distress. Sometime between Noon and 1:00pm, the local HAM answered what he thought was a normal CQ contact, that escalated quickly. The caller had been out walking, and was overcome by the heat. He began to not feel well, but his cell phone was dead. Luckily, he had a handheld with him, and called out to anyone on the 147.075 repeater for assistance.

In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were still able to conduct Field Day at the DFRC this year, be it a scaled down version. Under the excellent direction of Brian Mary, K3HMX we cut back to 3A knowing that we would have less participants. This enabled us to operate from the picnic pavilion, which was very enjoyable for all. Many of those present expressed a desire to use that location again next year if possible.
