DELAR
Local Communications
Ham radio was the very first ‘social media’ before
computers were even born! In addition to making friends
around the world, ham radio is all about conversation with
our neighbors. We use VHF and UHF frequencies typically,
with radios in our vehicles and small, high-tech handheld
radios. We use “repeaters” for dependable local
communications. In Delaware County there are several
well maintained machines. If you’re in the area, or if you
have “Echolink” or IRLP here is the information you need!
