    Well done by all! Thanks for posting this. Good reminder of some of the finer points of the hobby as well the type of people you meet in it. I hate hearing complaints about how the hobby has changed for the worse and all of the negative aspects. These gentlemen exemplify to me the VAST majority of hams and what they are willing to do for folks. Thanks again for this!

    What a terrific story! It embodies many of the qualities that ARE Ham Radio. Would it be possible to edit the video to either include subtitles or a voice over so visually impaired people could also enjoy this? It is good that there are translations when French is spoken but without audible subtitles this wonderful story will be lost for many who may benefit from it.
    Thanks again for this incredible story of friends.
