0 ? Zero ? NOT , we have had 3 licenced hams in our club
and in less than a year we now have 6.
4 more studying, once they see how fun it is, it happens !
U pass it and they will 2 !
For those that do not want to,
have someone run a CB or FRS to RELAY the info !
Besides I look soooo much better in a CVC helmet rolling down the road .
