Hey, everyone. Just noticed the live fire/ems audio player for the EFRS wasn't working on the group page. It has been updated and is working once again.

Jeff are you aware of the Amateur Radio Firefighter group. I thought you might be interested in that. You were kind enough to introduce me to firefighternation I thought I would share that group w/ and maybe you would like to join. Stay low and go maybe after the hollidays i can meet you up on HF. Im having such a hard time w/ my General. OH and think of some ideas for a Amateur radio club for firefighters. There has been a comment or two made about a net . Stay safe out there.
