Show notes:
We’re kicking things off with an exciting topic with co-host Jim doubling as our guest today! In this episode, we talk about how amateur radio is making waves in space exploration, what makes the Fram2Ham mission so special, and how you can get involved.
We also share some personal and company updates.
Thanks for listening, and don’t forget to subscribe and share QRM with your fellow hams!
A huge thanks to Vince, VE6LK for agreeing to be our announcer!
