(OHIO PENN DX BULLETIN) ** KICKER: GIRL'S RADIO RESCUE ACROSS THE MILES JIM/ANCHOR: Our final story is a tale of rescue, something amateurs often excel at. Ed Durrant, DD5LP, has the details. ED'S REPORT: One of the best things about amateur radio is that you can help at the scene of an emergency, without even being at the scene itself. No one knows that better right now than Mike Everett, M6MGE, an electronics student from Bristol in the UK. Mike was at his home QTH in Horfield recently, when he heard a distress call on his rig: A 12-year-old girl out camping with friends had begun suffering seizures. A ham at the campground, who'd brought along his radio, grabbed it and called for help. The campground at Wimbleball Lake on Exmoor was 70 miles away, but the radio signal got where it needed to go. Contacted by John Matthews, G6ASK, through the GB3WR repeater, Mike was able to summon an ambulance by land-line. He stayed in touch with John at the remote campground, learning that the girl had epilepsy, and was experiencing what was known as cluster seizures. The ambulance arrived in time for hospital transport of the youngster, who received treatment, and was later released. According to a newspaper report, she was eventually able to return, and enjoy her holiday at the campground. Mike told the Bristol Post, that most of the time he's spent on the air since getting his license 5 years ago, has been chatting. This was his first emergency response he said, and he was grateful for the happy ending. For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Ed Durrant, DD5LP.
