World Amateur Radio Day 18th April 2018<\/h2>\n

Celebrating world amateur radio day, we look at the way pre internet, radio shrunk the world. Using a variety of frequencies to transmit locally, or over long distances, radio ‘hams’ passed messages round the world long before there was Twitter, SMS or even phone calls. Relays passed on messages acting as go-betweens in the same way our major backbone carriers pass our messages today. However, it was all a little more civilised<\/a> and ‘human’ rather than a hub of computers and machine readable protocol.<\/p>\n
