Back to Scouts on Friday to finish off the Communicators badges



We did Morse code and Phonetics, we also looked at various countries call signs, how radio's worked an some Q-Codes.  Laptop was used to allow the Scouts to listen via WEBSDR to various stations and log their 25 contacts.

Parts available from Maplins and per typical Hams M6FLT and M0JFP built them on a Pub Table the night before.
