Ham radio

An amateur radio public relations spots  was aired recently on KCTV channel 5 in Kansas City. It featured only a reporter, two hams (ham = radioamatör) and an H-T, but is an excellent example of how an interview should take place.


The interviewees were Hamclass.org instructors, Brian Short, KC0BS and Matt May, KC4WCG. The HT was a Yaesu VX-7R, but it was the comments made by Short and May that made this such an outstanding bit of morning television:

KC0BS: “Actually, there are a lot of ways that people can get involved in a response, but all of them require some expertise. You need to bring something to the party, so as to speak. There are great opportunities through the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and another great example of that is amateur radio.”

If you are a ham involved in publicizing the hobby, or just want to see how to do an interview correctly, then this is must watch television.
