When disaster strikes, and conventional communication systems fail, amateur ham radio operators step in to bridge the gap, providing a crucial link between those in affected areas and the outside world.
Its nominally called a ‘random wire antenna’ but the caveat is that it needs a tuner and if the wire length is too close to a length that makes it naturally resonate without a tuner, the antenna will not work.
That’s actually pretty impressive if they can just feed a random wire directly into it and get it to transmit.
