Amateur radio in the news: Emergency communication, public service

Ham radio operators serve as eyes on the ground when severe weather hits.
When severe weather hit north-central Illinois last week, there was an army
of volunteers out gathering information, and funneling it to the National
Weather Service to provide a more accurate picture of what was going on.
Among those volunteers were amateur radio operators.

More than a hobby: Amateur radio enthusiasts strive to serve community. As
the sun set on a warm Friday in Grand Island, Stan Coleman sat in his red
Dodge Durango. He looked over his equipment — the radio to monitor
emergency services, his digital amateur radio, the dual-band radio and the
equipment to transmit his location. He waited. Then, when the clock hit 7
p.m., he sent his voice into the airwaves.
