Ham Radio Operators Played a Significant Role during Tsunami Disaster

Bangkok Post: Radio Hams Uniquely Prepared

I just ran across a story which ran in a local Thailand newspaper about the work of an Amateur Radio operator Phatandit Kulaphaichitra from Bangkok who uses a PC program called Echolink to interconnect his 2 meter ham radio with other radio amateurs via the internet using VoIP technology and how he was able to help relay emergency information during the tsunami disaster.

Phatandit is not alone in his use of Echolink. There are several applications used by ham radio operators these days that help hams speak with other hams via the internet.

I first discovered Echolink back in the summer of 2002 when I first wrote about the State of Digital Ham Radio. The underlying technology just continues to improve.

Reading stories about people like Phatandit Kulaphaichitra make me proud to be a ham radio operator and he is another great example about how one person can help make a difference. :-)
