With communication still limited after Helene devastated western North Carolina, ham radio operators in the Triangle and other areas are trying to help people connect with loved ones unable to make calls or evacuate.

I helped set up a phone patch for an Asheville resident Saturday morning.

Using the Intercon as a setup point and directed the stations to move off net frequency a bit to have their welfare conversation.

It worked! The party found a nearby local to Asheville, and the traffic was passed.
