Hams Help During Disaster

      At our July 9, 2026, meeting, ARRL North Texas Section Emergency Coordinator Mike Nelson, K5YX, talked about the role of Amateur Radio during the tragic flooding in south Texas during July of 2025. Amateur Radio operators supported private and government responders to fill communication gaps caused by cellular outages and dead zones caused by terrain.
