Local Amateur Radio Association Provides Vital Backup for Emergency Communications
b'On this podcast, WGY\'s Mike Patrick speaks with Bryan Jackson, president of the East Greenbush Amateur Radio Association. Besides being a backup for local law enforcement agencies in times of emergency, Bryan refers to Amateur Radio as the original form of social media. On January 20th, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of WGY, the Association will be creating a "Special Event" using the call letters W7Y (since WGY is taken, the "7" represents "G" in the alphabet).
