Civil Wilf Spooner, a radio amateur, for He quickly rounded up a group of Timmins from called on help. defence officials equipment and set up a took radio their headquarters radio station at a hotel on high ground, The sembled portable battery-powered receiv- "hams", various of homes, radio amateurs as- ers and transmitters for use in boats, in their own and Red Cross cars, and even some handie-talkie equipment which could be carried about by one man, AST February heavy snowstorms dis- rupted communications in Nova Scotia, Thirty inches of snow dropped on Liver- pool in one day, and other towns nearby were as badly hit, Telephone and telegraph wires went down with the heavy weight of snow and in some cases ice, Even power lines sagged under the heavy snow- load, A group of radio amateurs, banded to- gether for just such emergencies, went into operation, They used their hobby equip- ment, often home-built, from their homes while power was available, When the electric power failed they used batteries in their cars to supply power for their transmitters and receivers, They offered their services to Red Cross, telegraph lines, the Nova Scotia Power Commission and the civil defence organization, They kept the isolated towns in constant communica- tion with Halifax and other cities till the commercial communication channels were repaired, These are but two examples of the role of the Canadian radio amateur in coming to the aid of his fellow citizens, There are about 10,000 radio amateurs in Canada, each one licensed by the Department of Transport a. Ottawa after passing stiff technical examinations, They are assigned call letters and certain radio frequencies for their experimental work in the field of communication, Like them there are about 300,000 "hams" in most countries of the world, and in most cases they are encouraged by their governments in their hobby, During the last war many radio amateurs became signals officers in the military services, a trained group in tech- nical and communication work, There were radio amateurs when Mar- coni sent his first signals across the At- lantic in 1902, Today radio "hams" form not only a world-wide network for emer gency communication, but are in the fore- front of experiments in 'all fields of radio, They make up the bulk of the radio scien- tists in government and industry, In ad- dition there are tens of thousands of radio amateurs whose connection with radio is purely hobby, Among these are doctors, lawyers, streetcar conductors, clerks, news- paper reporters and many other of the numerous occupations by which we make our living, ICENSED in every country "for experi- mental purposes" most radio amateurs build their own equipment, Parts are easy to purchase, either new or from used mili tary or commercial equipment, With these and ingenuity they build their instruments ranging from sensitive receivers to trans- mitters which girdle the globe with less power than used in an ordinary electrie light bulb, he Daily Canadian radio amateurs help Canadian and United States civilian and military personnel stationed in the sub- Arctic and Arctic areas of our northland, and with the United Nations in Egypt and the Congo, Isolated from their families, with commercial long distance telephona service not available, these men want to talk to their families, Mail service is fairly regular, with aircraft flying in frequently. But the sound of familiar voices is longed for,
