'I heard the urgency in his voice'
A radio enthusiast who heard a distress call over 70 miles away via his amateur radio equipment, managed to alert emergency services so they could help a twelve year old girl who needed medical treatment. May Matthews had an epileptic fit during a camping trip, but her family did not have mobile phone signal at the time. May's father Jon Matthews explains why he had to send a distress call when his daughter had an epileptic seizure: "We were camping in the middle of Exmoor and we had absolutely no signal on any mobile network up there." Mike Everett who heard the call and contacted emergency services on behalf of Jon Matthews tells Today: "When you call the emergency services they have a rough idea where you're calling from... the operator was confused I was calling from Bristol and there was a discrepancy."
