KICKER: GIFTS FROM THE HEART OF THE HAM COMMUNITY

JIM/ANCHOR: We conclude this week's report with this reminder about the
real power of radio. It's not the power you get from any linear amplifier;
this is the power that comes from hams who have a heart. We told you last
week about the family of James Lea, WX4TV, a well-known amateur radio
family in Florida, struggling financially, since James, a freelance
cinematographer, was injured while at home last year, and became unable
to work. James contacted us to say his amateur radio family - the greater,
global amateur radio community - has reached out to him through his
GoFundMe page, and in other ways. He told Newsline that as of Wednesday,
January 23rd, more than 100 people - from the U.S., Europe, and even Asia -
had contributed more than $8,000 to help him, his wife, and their children,
with their needs. He wrote [quote] "We are near the goal, but are realizing
that the extent of the need, exceeds the goal by about 50 percent."
[endquote] James told us that the words that these donors are sharing -
along with their donations - have been especially meaningful to his family.
He wrote that the dollars have included [quote] "lots of reports from
people that we have inspired them, or helped them get licensed. That's the
coolest thing about this! So many people say WE have helped THEM!"
[endquote]

James added that his family is not just grateful, but most certainly
humbled.
