How Has The Corona Virus Affected Ham Radio?
Listen now
Description
With the Corona Virus shutting down businesses, school, social gatherings and more, we all have to adjust the way that we do things. Amateur radio is no different! We can’t have regular club meetings, we can’t do training events, we can meet for breakfast somewhere and just chew the fat. We can’t even give tests to new potential hams anymore. So what does that mean for those that want to get their license? Virtual testing is a thing now. If you would have asked me six months ago if it would ever happen, I probably would have said no, but now, I have already heard from people that have taken their test virtually.
