Radio Amateurs provide communication support in Boston Marathon bombings
The ARRL reports on ham radio involvement following the Boston Marathon bombing.

“Within minutes, cell phone systems became overloaded and making phone
calls and text messages was difficult. Amateur Radio operators
performed communication duties under duress and performed admirably."
said Steve Schwarm, W3EVE, who is the Amateur Radio Course
Communication Coordinator and associated with a consortium of clubs
and groups known as Marathon Amateur Radio Communications (MARC).
