Reason to be Prepared

The picture above I think makes quite an impact and adds another reason to be prepared! While most of us would probably not get caught in the bedlam known as Black Friday based on the number of early entrants to the recent Jarsfest we know ham operators will get going early. Where are you at in your preparations? Now is a good time to take stock.

A lot of us have the basics of communication covered already. Some of us have work to do on the emergency communications aspect if the Schumer hits the fan! If someone is willing to get in a fistfight over a television on sale at a local Walmart in North Carolina and as the picture above states…. What will they do when they are hungry?

Pictures like the one above or the need to prepare may be needed, but what does it hurt if you are not ready.  There is one organization that always is ready. They have a long tradition of answering the nations call. Their motto is Semper Paratus, which is translated to Always Ready. If they can operate that way it will not hurt us to be prepared.

Please plan on tuning in tonight at 9:00 PM on the AK4H repeater as we have our weekly rag chew about preparedness. Whether you enjoy listening on your radio, scanner, or even echolink it is a check in driven net so if you have your technician license or higher feel free to hit the PTT button. If you have not gotten your ticket yet please let us know what we can do to help.
