Ham Radio: The Next Best Thing After Phones!
A short piece on a method of communication other than by cell phone that's legal under US Federal law, fun to learn and use, and useful in times of need.
People are disconnecting their home phone lines ('cutting the cord'), and thus they are foolishly relying on technology that itself relies on towers and equipment to be functioning; even my new office has a landline and DSL installed. Imagine those devices being useless during or after an emergency. It's happened before. 9/11. Hurricane Katrina. Even going as far back as Hurricane Andrew and Hugo and beyond.
One viable alternative is two-way communication. There are a myriad of two-way radio sets for sale that have ranges up to 15 miles. These are wonderful for camping trips and excursions where you need to directly contact the owner of the other handset.
Another alternative, and one that I'm an active part of, is amateur, or 'ham' radio.
Amateur radio, like police or fire department radio, works on a set of radio frequencies that can receive as well as transmit sound and data by classes of operators licensed by the Federal Communications Commission. According to PCMag.com, the online portal of PC Magazine, they basically define amateur radio as " '...wireless voice communications that can reach "ham operators" up to hundreds of miles away, sometimes thousands'...'often a hobby, but can also be a public service.'" It goes on to explain the frequencies hams use, and with what method of communication - Morse code or voice.
Ham radio has been an integral part of communication in the United States for over a century. Even just recently it's been at the forefront of receiving and transmitting information from affected areas of national and natural emergencies such as 9/11, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards. During 2004 and 2005, when Florida was the bulls eye for so many cyclones, hams were busy on their emergency networks gathering information coordinated with local, state and federal agencies in an attempt to relay information to assist in the aftermath and relief efforts. It's also a service used for personal fun and enjoyment, communication and educational purposes.
I have a great idea for you. The next time you see a car, truck, or van with an antenna that doesn't like one for a car radio (AM, FM, or satellite radio), ask the owner if they're a ham and if they have a minute to talk to you about it. Hams are notorious for being forthcoming about ham radio information. If you can't, here's where to get information: the American Radio Relay League.
