Jampro donate FM antenna to Volunteer Radio Service

Although relief measures for the massive earthquake that hit Pakistan in October are well underway, the mountainous terrain and catastrophic devastation have sorely impeded progress.
The desperate need for communication with the affected areas is underscored by the Pakistani government's appeal for volunteers to create an FM Radio station that can reach survivors with valuable information.
Jampro Antennas / RF Systems, a Sacramento-based manufacturer with strong relationships in the region, responded to the call for help by donating an FM antenna to Volunteer Radio Service, the organisation coordinating the project.
The FM radio station's major role will be news reporting to trigger public participation in the rescue and relief operations. The station will pool resources with other FM stations to provide live reports from the devastated areas. It will serve as a crucial source to those seeking information about safety activities, missing people and families, medical aid areas, food supplies, and weather forecasts. It will also facilitate co-ordination among the earthquake aid/relief teams, NGOs, and give encouragement and hope to those that survived the disaster.
