KICKER: THANKFUL IN BRAZIL FOR AMATEUR RADIO

JIM/ANCHOR: Here in the United States, where Newsline is produced, 
households were marking the holiday of Thanksgiving, a time for 
reflection and gratitude. Our final story comes from Brazil, where 
Thanksgiving may not be observed at all, but the giving of thanks 
for amateur radio is certainly foremost on the minds of the 
surviving firefighters who had been buried in a cave in late 
October during a training exercise north of Sao Paolo.

According to the Associated Press, 16 of the 27 were trapped and 9
died after the roof of the cave collapsed. Search and rescue
operations went forward with the help of civil defense and, yes,
amateur radio. According to a translated post from the LABRE, the 
Brazilian national society, that appeared on Southgate Amateur 
Radio News, the hams of the Sao Paolo State Amateur Emergency 
Network, provided vital communication links between the command 
post and workers in the rescue area. With no telephone or internet 
at their disposal, the hams knew that amateur radio and their 
repeaters would serve as vital lifelines -- and that's a kind of 
thanksgiving too, after all.
