The Storied History of the Ham Radio Callsign
Every legal amateur radio operator in the world has a unique callsign assigned to them by their government, and many of us are better known by our callsign than our given name. But what world event was it that caused these monikers to be? Why are they constructed the way they are? Watch this video I put together as presented at the QSO Today Expo in March 2021, and discover for yourself the storied history of the ham radio callsign!

Team Starfish Barracuda- Brakes
มุมมอง 96011 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the second installment on how we built our original 1966 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S for vintage road racing. In this video, we discuss what we are using for brakes, front and rear.
