Sometimes a test of your emergency preparedness turns into a real-life emergency situation.
Such was the case with some boy scouts in Arizona who needed rescue after becoming lost while on a project to climb different peaks of the Pine Mountain Wilderness and signal one another with mirrors.
At some point during the expedition the team became stranded and one of the scouts fell ill as their water supply ran low. They relayed their predicament via ham radio to a Prescott resident who then called authorities.
After their rescue, none needed hospitalization.
It's good to see ham radio still has a purpose "when all else fails"!
