Ham radio for the doctors
Doctors can organise emergency medical nets to provide
on-the-air help to a person in medical distress. Relaying of the 'electrocardiogram' of a
patient from a moving ambulence in a remote area to a distant hospital for diagnosis and
proper medical advice was also once demonstrated by the UK hams using computer interfaced
radio via the ham radio artificial satellites ( In the
near future ham radio operators around the world will
be having their own home-made geo-stationary satellites. It will be a dream-come-true for
the most reliable long distance point to point ham radio communication! ).
