A&M ham radio operators help quake victims’ fa milk By Lisa Fleischmann Reporter Robert Eden, a senior computer science major and programs director for the MSC Amateur Radio Com mittee, sits behind a vast network of radios, screens, monitors, teletype machines and other various pieces of equipment in room 350 of the Texas A&M Memorial Student Center. Eden turns on the radio, scans the frequencies, sets the dial, puts his feet on the desk and waits. He waits for the fuzzy voice of a woman in California — known only as Judy — to invite radio operators to leave messages for earthquake vic tims in San Salvador. The invitation comes, and Eden responds with the committee’s call numbers, W5AC. Eden waits for Judy to respond back with her call numbers and an invitation for Eden to relay the names and phone numbers of the families in San Salvador. The invitation doesn’t come — Eden didn’t get through. Hundreds of other radio opera tors worldwide try to contact Judy and leave information about their families and friends in San Salvador. Judy relays these names and num bers to a faceless voice, Father Bob, in El Salvador. Father Bob tries to lo cate the people so that their families will know they’re alive. He leaves messages with Judy, who records the information and passes it on to the operators who contact her every other day. Eden says the process is time-con suming because operators all over the world are trying to relay mes sages simultaneously. When opera tors finally get the messages to Fa ther Bob, he often can’t get through to Salvadorians because the phone lines are frequently down, Eden said. In spite of the difficulties, Eden says that most of the families in San Salvador have been located. “We had 35 people to get infor mation on,” he said. “So far, 32 of them have been taken care of, but a lot of them have been located In people on the telephone (calling from El Salavadoij." In addition to disaster communica tion, (he rudio committee's publi<- service program includes conduct ing phone patches for the Ocean Drilling Program’s research ship, the JG1DES Resolution.
