Historic amateur radio film "Every Single Minute" now on Google Video
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)

The original phil-mont hams have left some very big shoes to fill.

Indeed they have...and a very few of them are still with us, checking in on our nets every Sunday.
The fellow in the bumper interview (who was also in the film itself as a much younger W3QQH) was an incredible practical engineer and craftsman; you can read a biographical salute to him at
