Amateur Radio Operators Gather for Hamfest:

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Amateur radio vendors and operators gathered this weekend to discuss evolving technical aspects of the field that help with emergency backup communications. The Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club hosted the event. While it's a hobby for many, amateur radio communications can be essential in times of need when other communications systems go down. The Fort Myers Amateur Radio Club was deployed during Hurricane Irma to support emergency communications with Lee County departments.
