Ham Radio Operators - The Lifeline in Chaos.

In time of chaos, Amateur Radio Operators can get your messages out to people you are trying to locate. Amateur Radio Operators, also known as "Hams" or Ham Operators are licensed radio operators that assist in time of emergencies. If cell phone towers go down which is likely due to millions of customers overloading the system during an emergency; you should seek out a Ham Operator to help you get your messages out. Cell phone towers can be wiped out by floods, earthquakes, nuclear explosions, hurricanes, tsunami's or tornados. When this happens, the local Ham Operators are ready to assist. We are very lucky to have a member who is a licensed Ham Operator. I interviewed him the other day and he explained to me in great detail how the "Hams" will help out.

Let's say that you are on a business trip to New York City when a huge earthquake hits your hometown in California. You cannot reach your wife by cell phone because the towers are overloaded. At this point, you should go to a Ham Operator in New York City. The Ham Operator will take your message and radio call to any Ham Operator near your hometown in California. The Ham Operator will then have somebody take your message to your home in California. Your wife can then relay a message back to you through the same Ham Operators. There is approximately 700,000 Ham Operators in the USA. And, there are thousands of different frequencies that they can use. This prevents the system from getting clogged up in time of emergency. Each Ham is licensed and has a distinct call sign that they use. If you don't personally know a Ham Operator, it is in your best interest to locate one close to where you live. That way, you can avoid the lengthy lines that will form at all of the Ham Operator stations when a big emergency occurs. You can get there first and get your messages out quickly. You can locate a Ham that is close to you by doing a license search. Go to The National Association for Amateur Radio and simply type in your city and zip code. Remember to do this before the emergency occurs and be prepared.
