Good article, but for future reference it's "ham radio," not "HAM radio." The word "ham" is not an acronym, it isn't capitalized. We don't write "CELL phones," "LIGHT bulb," or "LAWN mower," do we?

H = Home no power, A = Actually no cell service and M = Maybe you need communications to get food and water.
