ARLB026 Indiana Ham Radio Volunteers Assisting in Wake of Killer Tornado

Indiana Section Emergency Coordinator David Pifer, N9YNF, reports Amateur Radio volunteers are assisting relief operations in the wake of a November 6 tornado that left 22 people dead and 200 injured. The twister slashed a more than 40-mile swath through part of Kentucky and extreme southwestern Indiana in the early morning hours, wiping out a section of a trailer park in Vanderburgh County where 18 of the fatalities occurred.

'Amateur radio has been involved with various aspects of the response from the beginning,' Pifer said. The Salvation Army and the American Red Cross are on the scene in the affected areas with canteen and mass-care facilities to feed and care for relief workers and tornado victims. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
