In the Premiere Fo Time Podcast we visit with Cecil Higgins, AC0HA.  Cecil was the 'Ham In Charge' during the ARES response to the Joplin MO Tornado Disaster in 2011.  We discuss disaster response, the multiple roles of amateur operators in disasters, what equipment worked (best) and more.

Cecil Higgins AC0HA: AAR and PowerPoint Presentation linked from the ares-mo.org website.

 

Upcoming in Episode 2: KF7IJZ and I discuss Field Day, Solar/ Battery, and a great deal more!

This episode was recorded a few weeks ago in preparation for the program.  It should stand as a sobering reminder of the Force of Nature and how Amateurs may be called upon to respond in a crisis.  Earlier this week  a Twin-Tornado devastated the small Nebraskan town of Pilger.                

Our Prayers go up for all those affected.  Cale/K4CDN
