Episode 180 - Brian Machesney - K1LI Natural disasters, especially the
most recent hurricanes, present us with opportunities to make a real
difference if we step up to the plate. As part of this amateur radio
story, Brian Machesney, K1LI, was presented his opportunity to make a
difference on the Caribbean Island of Dominica after it was wiped out by
Hurricane Maria in October 2017. Brian, his wife, and other hams stepped
up to the plate and provided relief with the Dominica Airlift as it was
called by the press. This story and so much more in this QSO Today with
