Spreading the fun of ham radio, and specifically Morse Code is our goal. We were excited to share CW and POTA with a few members of the 322 & 41 boy scout troops while we activated Monte Sano State Park during their outing. Their interest and thoughtful questions were amazing as we worked through the pile-ups.
