Title: RSO HAM Radio Course
Post by rosswood on 02/16/14 at 20:32:46

See below the announcement of the annual RallySport Ontario HAM radio course. We are always looking for more HAM operators at our events. For volunteers at events it makes it much more enjoyable and satisfying to be in on all the logistics of running the event. Plus there is a wider range of opportunities available at events for radio operators.
For new operators who haven’t yet purchase equipment we always have loaner packages available.
