NHC ham radio station featured in Duracell ad

WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio Station at the National Hurricane Center is featured in a 60-second radio spot for Duracell batteries.

The commercial, which begins airing this month, highlights the efforts of the volunteers who man and assist the ham radio operations for National Hurricane Center station WX4NHC.

With a voice over by actor Jeff Bridges, the spot describes the important role that radio amateurs play during severe weather conditions by enabling communications with police and fire departments along with other first responders when electrical service and telephones go away.

The narration underscores the importance of a reliable battery to power the portable ham radio gear which the spot describes as essential to the work of WX4NHC.

The commercial is being played nationally during hurricane season. It should help promote awareness of the vital public service role played by amateur radio.
