HamTactical

Great story about how ham radio can lead to exploring the world.

"Late one night, when I was on the 14-MHz frequency band, my life changed. A ham operator in Antarctica poked weakly through the static. Upon a closer listen, it was clear that not only was he in Antarctica, but at the Amundsen-Scott Station on the geographic South Pole. My heart skipped a few beats. The South Pole! That was about as wild and remote a place as my teenage imagination could conjur up."

When most 13-year-olds are experimenting with Snapchat filters, these kids are connecting to the world over ham radio.
