My wife and I just watched a supply convoy of high-wheeled
trucks (dozens) loaded with many things inching their way into
New Orleans through water, their wheels leaving a virtual boat
wake, somehow able to stay on a hard-to-see "roadway." Radio
didn't drive those trucks.
I betcha those drivers were keeping in touch by radio.
I doubt those truck drivers are
"amateur" drivers. I salute THEM for daring to bring much-
needed supplies through a seemingly impassible path.
No, they were trained to drive those truck, just like many of the hams
have trained, on their own time, at their own expense, to handle
emergency communications.
Yes, there ARE emotional needs for many and amateur radio WILL
satisfy those things. But, the providers of such emotional
filling are NOT "heroes,"
I don't see any of them claiming to be heroes.
