  I have included this video for anyone who has been curious about amateur or ham radio. The presenter does a great job explaining what is possible in ham radio from the perspective of emergency communications in case the grid goes down. Good beginner information and simple explanations. Useful for finding out what amateur radio is capable of achieving.

I came across a video this morning and it is interesting and informative. Professor Col. Stephen Hamilton KJ5HY gives us a perspective of the relevance of modern HF radio communications for the military. Ham radio enthusiasts will appreciate the information he is sharing as well since he credits the ham radio community for continuing to advance HF communications technology and techniques. Worth a view.
