Ham radio still part of hurricane center arsenal

 Amid the high-tech computers, satellite dishes and sophisticated
equipment at the National Hurricane Center is the WX4NHC Amateur Radio
Station.

 The Sun Sentinel reports that when hurricanes form, the amateur radio
station cranks up and receives weather information from HAM operators
in the affected areas. Their observations help the forecasters in
Miami-Dade County better judge a storm's strength or position and
issue more precise warnings.
