ARLA/CLUSTER: Radioamador americano pede auxilio via radio numa autoestrada onde não havia rede de telemovel

Ham radio used to call for help

Amateur radio - and a 'guardian angel' - were the stars of a
road-crash rescue Saturday morning on Arkansas Highway 201 just south
of the Missouri line

The Ozark County Times reports James 'Jim' Long N5CXP, who lives in
Baxter County, Arkansas, came across a road traffic accident. The
crash had happened “down in a creek bottom where there wasn’t a cell
phone signal,” so Jim used his Ham Radio to call for assistance.
N9JSM responded to the call and contacted 911.
