Exclusive - Last Voice From Kuwait, video

This is the exclusive internet debut of the movie "Last Voice From Kuwait" produced by Frank Moore, WA1URA and WANE - TV. The movie is in three parts. Enjoy:

Back in 1990 – 1991 a very brave amateur radio operator named Abdul-Jabbar Ma’rafi, 9K2DZ, became literally the last voice from Kuwait. When Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi army invaded his country, Abdul remained on the ham radio at his peril right under the nose of the invaders. He was able to report many of the atrocities committed by the Iraqis as well as reporting troop movements and warnings to coalition forces. After Saddam was driven out, Abdul remained at work relaying many hundreds of health and welfare messages to Kuwaiti family members in the free world awaiting word from loved ones in the war torn country.

The following video documents the activities of this courageous ham operator during his country’s darkest hour. It is also a testament to the power of amateur radio. Our disaster might not be an invasion by a blood crazed dictator, but after hurricane Katrina and the Tennessee tornadoes of April 2006, we have to admit that our very own disaster lurks right around the corner. We must be prepared. --Thomas Hamilton

Hi Debbie and Tom,

Excellent Post and Video's and was a very good thing to see how Abdul really put his neck on the line to provide his people with hope.

Thank you all for this video it should be something that everyone should watch.

It stresses the importance of freedom.

nice nice work!...how inspirational for the ones freed from tyranny eh?..:)

[Layla]

Deb if you want to try make the width "400" and the height "350". If your blocks are like mine are on my blog layout for width you should be okay.

Let me know!

[Debbie]

Thanks for the help on my videos, Layla. This is the first time I have put anything original up and I knew there must be something I could do to fix that awful white border on each side.

I have changed the height and width the way you suggested. They look much better, but could be a little larger. I’m afraid to try messing with them any more. I may. I’m so technically challenged. I appreciate your help so much, you just don’t know!!!

[Layla]

Great posts and video hun!

Looks like you need to make those clips smaller. I had to learn to do it because the same thing happened at my place.

In the script hun you will see where there is the width "" height "" . Make your width "300" and your height "250" - you can play and see if width "325" and height "275" looks better. Usually this is in the first or second line...since it is YouTube there is another line towards the bottom with the width and height and just make sure to make it the same values you changed it to in the begining of the script.
That is if height is 250 make it 250 at the end too or the size change does not show.

Excellent job!
