KICKER: MEET OUR INTERNATIONAL NEWSMAKER OF THE YEAR FOR 2022

NEIL/ANCHOR: When Amateur Radio Newsline began presenting its 
International Newsmaker of the Year award in 2019, we did it to 
acknowledge the best embodiment of the spirit of amateur radio in 
the activities of an individual, club or other organization during 
the past year. In presenting this year's award, we congratulate the 
winner we celebrated in that inaugural year: The West Bengal Amateur 
Radio Club of Kolkata, India. Here's our editor, Caryn Eve Murray,
KD2GUT, to tell us why.

CARYN: Congratulations once again to the West Bengal Radio Club of 
Kolkata India, Newsline's International Newsmaker for 2022. 

Operating on a thin budget, sometimes with borrowed radio equipment, 
the club has consistently provided communications during cyclones, 
after earthquakes, at major public events and to reunite missing 
family members with loved ones. The club also teaches its members 
valuable emergency-response skills that help save lives. This past 
year, those skills helped prevent a different kind of tragedy: They 
assisted law enforcement in locating and rescuing a woman who had 
been kidnapped and was about to be handed over to a human-
trafficking ring. The stories we have given our listeners this past 
year about this club's efforts show that its commitment to public 
service, like their energy, knows no limits.

Newsline spoke to the club's secretary, Ambarish Nag Biswas, VU2JFA, 
and he explained why members are so committed:

AMBARISH NAG BISWAS: We only make this club, not only for the 
amateur radio hobby. We make using this hobby how to save lives 
because all technology is for the human. If you are not using your 
hobby for the human, I don't believe that hobby...that hobby is just 
a hobby.

CARYN: All of us at Amateur Radio Newsline salute this group for its 
combination of technology and humanity.

This is Caryn Eve Murray, KD2GUT.
