Find out more about what amateur radio operators do to help their local communities in the event of a disaster. This 6 1/2 minute video, narrated by the late Walter Cronkite, whose amateur radio call sign was KB2GSD, shows a few of the ways our hobby helps to save lives and property.

This video has been posted with the permission of the American Radio Relay League, its producer. The ARRL brings together hams throughout the United States to sponsor and improve amateur radio, and to safeguard the radio frequencies on which we operate.
