My county maintains hf, vhf and uhf capabilities in its command center and we have a couple people licensed to operate in case there is a need including our director. I also am a radio operator with the state Emergency Operations Center when disaster calls. I also am a volunteer with SCHEART (South Carolina Healthcare Emergency Amateur Radio Team)

Comment by Lois Walsh on January 2, 2011 at 11:28pm: Happy New Year to all from Corvallis, Montana! I've been a ham since the 70's - now KK7YM. Have been active on and off, but would like to set up a small station again. As for EMS, I was originally certified as an EMT-B in 1980 (with the big orange book) and worked as a volunteer for 15 years. After a long absence I'm back in EMS, both as a volunteer with the county mountain search & rescue and on the local fire dept. Be safe...have fun!
