[amsat-bb] Re: Amateur Satellites and the emergency on tornado in Oklahoma and Texas

Hello Domenico,

In reply to your inquiry:

I am interested to know if someone in BB has used or is using the actual Amateur Satellites during the emergency occurred in Oklahoma and Texas because of the actual tornado's.

Despite the sheer devastation that is shown and huge number of people affected, as in the Oklahoma tornado, most of that damage fits within the footprint of many 2-meter and 440 MHz repeaters. Also, the city most affected is 15 km from the state capital so access to government relief/response in this case happens to be nearby.
