Earthquake hero in Santa Barbara aids quake relief and long distance radio reach
Stanford senior Brandon Wentworth operated a 200 watt amateur radio setup from a hillside shack above San Francisco. He long communicated across oceans to England and many countries, relaying messages after the Santa Barbara quake and assisting San Ysidro with up to 500 daily messages. He attributes success to relentless key and receiver work, logging stations from India to New Zealand and beyond.
