(WSIL) It s during times of crisis when we realize the importance of communication.
The bombing that shook Nashville on Christmas Day, damaged a key AT&T communication hub, knocking out internet and phone services across their region.

It s for that reason, Massac County Amateur Radio Club President, Ruben Fuente, has added an extra means of communication to his emergency plan. It can be a hobby for a lot of people, or it can be a service that people are wanting to contribute towards.
