KICKER: A RADIO, A RESCUE AND A QSL CARD

PAUL/ANCHOR: Sometimes a QSL card can confirm so much more than just a
successful radio contact. Just ask one ham in Wyoming, who recently got
such a card, with a special message. Here's Ralph Squilllace, KK6ITB,
with that story.

RALPH: Nicholas Cashoili, N0ASL, recently sent a QSL card to Jim Shirey,
N7FC. The men had a QSO on Halloween night on the same frequency, where
members of the Buffalo Amateur Radio Klub customarily check in, and keep
up-to-date on matters related to the club. The voice coming from Jim's
HT, however, wasn't from a fellow club member: It was that of a motorist
in distress. That motorist was Nicholas. According to a report on the
Buffalo Bulletin website, Nicholas told Jim that he needed help: He'd
been driving through a canyon in Johnson County in north central Wyoming,
when his car slid off the road. His car was disabled, and there was no
cell service available in the area. Using his radio, Jim gathered what
information he could get from Nicholas, and then called 911. The story
in the Buffalo Bulletin said that the fire and sheriff's departments
were sent to assist at the scene.

Jim, however, didn't learn of the happy ending, until he received that
QSL card from Nicholas this month. Only after its arrival from Nicholas'
Nebraska QTH, did Jim discover some of the details of what turned out
to be a successful rescue. Nicholas was safe, and had not been injured.
The day it arrived, his QSL card did double duty -- as a thank-you card.

This is Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB.
