A Ham Radio Comes In Handy During Emergencies

When things happen such as earthquakes or staying in contact with and find people who are lost at sea, ham radios can come in handy!

Here is a link to an article that talks about one's man participation in ham radio. For him, he started it out as a hobby by just listening to the ham radio broadcasts and then it became much more to him. (He has even worked in conjunction with the police!)

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"A few nights ago, George Scott was in his bathroom getting ready for bed when he felt one of the earthquakes that shook Yuma recently. He quickly got on his ham radio and found that three of his fellow operators were already on the frequency talking about it. "
