Radio hams help in emergency

The Richfield Reaper reports *Keith Cartwright N7XUO* used amateur radio to
help in an Uintah County emergency

The newspaper says:

While Keith Cartwright was working in his shop Oct.10, 2015, he didn’t
expect what his ham radio received — a call for help.

An amateur radio operator had broadcast the SOS, which had been transmitted
through the Monroe Peak repeater, which in turn had picked up the signal
from the Skyline Radio Club system.

“The signal was weak and had some steam on it,� Cartwright said. “I
expected to hear someone respond to the call before I could move across the
shop.�

However, when he reached his radio, no one had responded, so he broadcasted
a message back. Cartwright acknowledged receipt of the mayday, and asked
how he could help.

“It surprised me,� Cartwright said.

On the other end of the broadcast was a man, Andrew Burger, who was
transmitting from the Ashley Twin Lakes area near Vernal. Burger was with a
possible heart attack victim, Gene Bigelow.
