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! ).
