Top-Level Content

You can also expect to take away knowledge you can use to boost your enjoyment of Ham Radio or keep you better prepared. For example, Ward Silver, N0AX, OnAllBands blogger, noted author, and 2015 inductee into the CQ Contest Hall of Fame, will be presenting on using radiosport as a training ground to improve emergency operating skills. He’ll be covering a range of topics, from practicing teamwork to FM simplex contests. It’s just one of many presentations you won’t want to miss.
