Hams were handling health and welfare traffic from SE Asia almost before the water had receded.
(I'm a licensed amateur too. So are my husband and daughter.)

well spank this guy with a spoon. I have great apprcation for ham operators. If it wasn't for them and the MARS, we wouldn't have been able to "call" home, when we pulled into port, years ago when I was on the boats!
