Amateur Radio Station Featured in National Commercial

WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio Station at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami, Florida, is featured in a 60 second radio spot for Duracell batteries.

The commercial, which begins airing this month, highlights the efforts of an all-volunteer army of ham radio operators for WX4NHC.

Narrated by actor Jeff Bridges, it describes the important role that radio amateurs play during severe weather conditions -- enabling communications with emergency medical teams, police and fire departments -- when the power goes out.

The narration underscores the importance of a reliable battery to power the portable ham radios, which are crucial to WX4NHC's work.
