Emergency call via GB3WR - M6MGE & G6ASK

May Day May Day !!

Chertsey Radio club contacted Mike to congratulate him on professional handling of the call / situation and let him know he did an amazing professional job. A credit to himself and the hobby.

Mike M6MGE unexpectedly had to handle a 999 (equiv 911) emergency call from John G6ASK via the repeater GB3WR 

The YouTube description reads: 

Wasn't expecting this, So got a little tongue tied!

UPDATE: Michaela (May) Has made a full recovery and continues to enjoy her holiday in Exmouth.
