[SDSPS Members] FW: Maritime based Ham Radio event - Jack Binns - Marconi Radio Club

[Bill Frame]

For the ham radio operators out there, a special event this weekend. 

 

For others, ham radio is a great way to supplement our boating hobby. Talk
to one of the many hams in SDSPS to find out how it's useful on the water
and how to become licensed.
