Using amateur radio technology to stay connected

The St. Albert Gazette reports using technology to connect with each other
is old hat for ham radio operators

Amid the coronavirus outbreak and people being forced to spend more time at
home, people are using technology to bridge the physical gap and stay
connected.

However, this is not new to amateur radio operators. From the early days of
radio, “ham radio operators�, as they are more commonly known as, have been

Ham radio operators use the radio frequency spectrum to pass non-commercial
messages to each other using a wide variety of transmission mediums such as
voice, Morse code, television and as well as other digital modes.

all walks of life and age demographics.
