Amateur Radio Enthusiasts Prepare for Potential Emergency Events:

JUPITER, Fla. -- Some local amateur radio enthusiasts spent Sunday honing their skills to prepare in the event of a natural disaster. The 24-hour event took place at the Carlin Park Civic Center in Jupiter. The event aimed to encourage amateur radio operators to communicate with each other and build contacts. Often when there's a natural disaster, people can use ham radios to keep in touch when other communication systems go down.
