PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Ham radio operators from Philadelphia's Holmesburg
section are reaching out to the public for help in a service project to
benefit our wounded warriors. Bob Josuweit is president of the Holmesburg
Amateur Radio Club and is helping to coordinate the project. He says the
club is asking you to save the envelopes of the cards or letters you might
receive and donate the stamps from those envelopes to the group for
its "Stamps for the Wounded" project. "Cancelled stamps are collected and
then distributed to local VA hospitals and other convalescent facilities
where our wounded warriors can receive occupational therapy using the
stamps either to put into albums or to make decorative items."

At their Sept. 6 meeting, the La Paz County Board of Supervisors approved
installation of a radio repeater and an antenna by My La Paz Radio at the
Centennial Library between Salome and Wenden. Prior the vote, the
supervisors heard a presentation from the organization's founder, Dave
Anderson. He said they try to promote educational and social opportunities
for young people through amateur radio. The repeater was needed so My La
Paz could bring services to the McMullen Valley, Anderson said. "Those
mountains are a huge hurdle," he said. Anderson said the organization
started approximately a year ago when he looked at the youth of the 22
communities in the county and found many of them live in isolated areas
with high poverty. "There's less than one child per square mile in the
county," he said. Anderson said amateur radio was seen as a way for young
people to interact and form contacts. It is also a way to bring educational
programs to youth around the county. He said they have licenses 34 young
amateur radio operators in the last eight months. They are particularly
interested in science education. On Sept. 2 and Sept. 4, 10 young people in
the county woke up early, and spoke to each other on amateur radio as the
International Space Station passed overhead.
