Amateur radio station is getting better organized. I am ready to help people if they call for help. In the past week I made radio contacts with men in the nearest city and with others in neighboring cities. Electricity used for radio contacts was produced off-the-grid at home using a solar panel.

A man that was about 40 miles away in a different city answered my call and we had a clearly audible conversation. I am mostly interested in reaching local people so that in times of emergency, I could help, or for when other communications are cut I could share information with people I could meet in person, if needed.

But I also heard someone as far as 700 miles away, but that was through a radio that the man had connected to the internet, so part of the distance of our communication was through the internet, which then was sent out again as a radio wave in a nearby city.
