5 times amateur Radio Operators made a difference
Four of these started as videos on my YouTube channel. Sputnik was written just for this ebook.
A radio that heard the first satellite while the Navy’s tracking stations were still on the wrong frequency. Three radios that were supposed to go to Burma and ended up inside the Russian White House during the 1991 coup. A ten-year-old who ran a shelter net three days after her license arrived. A legally blind operator who got a woman in labor off a flooded hospital roof after Hurricane Katrina. And the amateurs who got blamed for the Titanic, then got pushed onto the frequencies nobody wanted.
