Katrina - Ham Radio's Untold Story

Amateur Radio - often called "ham radio" continues to be the most reliable, fail-safe means of communications in disasters. Even with the complexity of new communications systems, or perhaps because of their complexity, Amateur Radio works when other systems are down or overloaded. These are the comments of people who saw Amateur Radio in action during and after Katrina.

I tried to watch it but it froze at 0:51, will try again later. Hope I can see it. Would be great way to tell all my friends who say oh why do I need radio when I have a cellphone, that the cellphone can and will fail but when all else amateur radio will be there and working.
