Cub scouts communications

Tomorrow, my dad and I will be helping local cub scouts earn their Communications pin by demonstrating emergency communications using ham (amateur) radio.  I’ve got a ham radio that I’ve built into a metal case to make it portable, and my dad will be using it to show the cub scouts how to communicate after a storm, hurricane, or other disaster.

I’ll be talking remotely to the cubs, to demonstrate the other half of the communication, so it should be a fun day for these kids.
