Ham Radio in PCWorld Magazine

The computer magazine *PCWorld* describes how amateur radio has stepped in
to fill communication gaps in Nepal

They report the hobbyist radio operators, also known as ham radio operators
or hams, are working round-the-clock to help people get in touch with
relatives, pass on information and alert about developing crises ever since
the 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit about 80 kilometers from Nepal’s capital
city of Kathmandu.

Ham radio sends voice or morse code messages across radio frequencies and
has often helped in emergencies. It can work off solar power or low-voltage
batteries, which means that the radios can continue to work even after
smartphones and laptops are discharged, said *Jayu Bhide VU2JAU*, National
Coordinator for Disaster Communication at the Amateur Radio Society of
India, on Wednesday.
