Ham Radio Journalists: The Ultimate Off-Grid Network
When massive floods sever all fiber-optic cables, journalists who hold amateur (Ham) radio licenses become the only link to the outside world. Using high-frequency transceivers, they relay real-time casualty counts and infrastructure damage to mainland newsrooms.
The Bharat Media Association applauds these dual-role operators. Ham radio journalism remains a crucial, indestructible communication backbone, proving that analog technologies are indispensable when modern digital grids fail entirely during natural catastrophes.
