KICKER: WORKING ALL BRITAIN, HELPING ALL WHO NEED IT
STEPHEN/ANCHOR: Our final story is about a grid-square activation in
Northern Ireland, that turned into a rescue effort. Here's Jeremy Boot,
G4NJH.
JEREMY: Perhaps no one could have taken the motto of the Worked All
Britain Awards more seriously than Esther Harper, GI0AZA, {pronounced
GEE-EYE-ZERO-A-ZED-A}. The Worked All Britain group, an affiliated member
of the Radio Society of Great Britain, operates in the spirit of
selflessness, with the motto "To assist others."
Esther, a member of the RAYNET North West Northern Ireland emergency
comms group, acted in the spirit of that motto, while activating grid
squares from Fermanagh, with her husband, Ian, GI0AZB {pronounced
GEE-EYE-ZERO-A-ZED-Bee}. She had just finished a QSO on 40 metres, when
she heard a call for help on the frequency. Richard Haynes, MW6RBH, was
reporting that an injured cyclist in a remote part of Wales needed
assistance, but the area lacked mobile phone coverage. He provided the
grid reference to Esther, who reached emergency services, and asked that
an Air Ambulance be sent.
The injured cyclist was airlifted out within the hour. Esther told
Newsline {quote} "Richard was fantastic, in that he was able to provide
such accurate information regarding the location." {endquote}
No doubt the couple's son, Joe, 2I0JIE {pronounced TWO-EYE-ZERO-JAY-EYE-EEE}
and daughter, Jen, MI6JHE {pronounced EM-EYE-SIX-JAY-AITCH-EEE} are feeling
proud too -- and there's no doubt too that the unnamed cyclist is grateful
-- and hopefully on the mend by now.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jeremy Boot, G4NJH.
