    Monthly Summary for October 2009

    News last updated: Mon, July 6, 2009 at 2:55 PM ET

    Hello, Wyoming Hams, Truly this is what Amateur radio is about. Steve, Paul and Del went out of their way to affect the lives of their fellow hams and their family.

    Wanting to give recognition to 3 amateurs who helped with a roadside assist

    In June, we were traveling in Wyoming when a wheel bearing on my trailer burned up. We were halfway between Lander, WY, and Dubois, WY. There is no cell phone service there and the only communication available was Amateur Radio. When I put out the call on 146.520 I was answered by KC7ZVV. He called AAA for me to get road service. When AAA arrived they didn't have the proper equipment and said they would put in a call for another unit when they got to an area that phones would work. About 2 hours later there was still no assistance from AAA. I again called upon KC7ZVV. While talking to him 2 other amateurs came on the air. One said he had tools and could change the wheel bearing to get me off the road. He came out, took off the wheel, got the part numbers, and went after them. When he returned, he had a friend with him, KE7KBE. Together they were able to make a good enough temporary repair to get me off the side of the road and to a campground in Dubois, WY. They would accept no money from me, other than the cost of the bearings. They then followed us all the way to the campground in Dubois.

    These gentlemen gave freely of their time and fuel. I estimate that KB7FGN had to have put at least 150 miles on his truck. Without their help, we would have been stuck out there for far longer than we were.

    I feel that they have embodied the true spirit of Amateur Radio and should receive some kind of recognition. Being new to this as I am, I do not know what programs are available. In any event, I think that they deserve more than just a heartfelt thank you from my wife and I, and my sister, who was traveling with us.

    Yours truly,

    Richard Lewis
