4. Communications is ham radio group’s specialty

The Kingston Whig-Standard reports that if something really bad happens
in Frontenac County,
there is a small group of volunteers who will try to make sure that at
the very least,
emergency services can talk to each other

With about 22 members, the Frontenac Amateur Radio Group uses some
high-tech gear to communicate
with an almost century-old short wave radio method. And, in the event of
a disaster,
the group would be called upon to help co-ordinate relief efforts.
