Historic amateur radio film "Every Single Minute" now on Google Video
by Margaret Leber 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

In 1955, The Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club provided emergency communications during the devastating flooding along the Delaware River and in the Pocono Mountains following Hurricane Diane, the sixth costliest U.S. hurricane of the 20th century...fifty years before Hurricane Katrina. In 1959, the club produced this short film to explain amateur radio, and especially mobile communications as practiced by the club. (The main film begins after a three minute interview with Jim Spencer, W3BBB, produced by a local cable channel many years later) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2943570522939177086&hl=en 73 de Maggie K3XS Editor, Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club Blurb - http://www.phil-mont.org Elecraft K2 #1641

There's a download link, but apparently the result requires the use of Google Video Player. If you're not able to get it to him usably via Google Video, drop me a note off-list with a snailmail address and I'll burn a CD. Kinda scary that there's still schools without wideband internet access. -- 73 de Maggie K3XS Editor, Phil-Mont Mobile Radio Club Blurb - http://www.phil-mont.org Elecraft K2 #1641 -- AOPA 925383 -- ARRL 39280
