Description

this show was produced before the re-brand to HamRadio 360.
August 2005 brought destruction upon the Gulf Coast of the US that none will forget.  Her name was Katrina, and she's known as the costliest natural disaster, as well as one of the five deadliest hurricanes, in the history of the United States. (*wiki*)



I recently spent some time with Carl, KB5WMY, chatting about Ham Radio and the part it played in the Storm Recovery.  Carl volunteered in the Bossier Parish 911 center following Katrina.



This is one mans view of the job that was handled by many Amateur Radio Operators from all over the US and the World.



**KB5WMY Carl David McNair, 61, of Bossier City, LA, passed away on Monday, March 11, 2019 in Minden, LA after a long struggle with cancer.**

Many Thanks to all who participated in the rescue and recovery lending a hand to your fellow man!
