Amateur radio isn't just a hobby, as James Curtis points out. During a
normal week, sure, it can be fun making contacts with other radio operators
from around the world. But in times of emergency or natural disaster, when
other types of communication may be put out of commission, "ham" radio
operators can play a vital role in emergency communications. Ham operators
played a key role in the response to Hurricane Katrina, and to flooding in
Colorado in 2013, according to the American Radio Relay League website. "If
all else fails, if local communications went down today, ham radio would
get through," said Curtis
