Picture this: while everyone’s freaking out about losing X (Twitter) access during a hurricane, the local ham radio operators are calmly chatting away, broadcasting like it’s 1952, making sure Grandma gets her medication and the National Guard knows where to go.
Even though we’ve got satellites, drones, and Elon Musk's Starlink beaming from space, ham radio is still the reliable, cranky old grandpa of communications. It’s the guy who shows up at the party with a flip phone and somehow still knows what’s going on when everyone else’s iPhones have given up.
