Our mission is to bring Bitcoin Plebs & Devs into ham radio in order to help the bitcoin community to achieve technical proficiency in radio communication techniques so that they will be able to contribute to advancing the radio arts in alignment with the ethos of Bitcoin. ⚡️⚡️⚡️Let me know if there is ham radio content that you would like to see me repost. I will see it if you use #hamradio or @HR4BTC it in a reply. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Ham radio operators play a crucial role in the Marine Corps Marathon, offering reliable communication support across the course. It’s a rewarding opportunity for amateur radio enthusiasts to serve the community and support a major event.

Volunteering at the marathon is especially meaningful for veterans who are hams, as it allows them to stay connected to the service community and give back in a unique and impactful way. This year’s race will be extra special, marking the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps, a milestone that adds deeper pride and significance to the event.

The volunteer portal has opened to sign up with the Marine Corps Marathon Office.

The direct link is: https://xactllc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=99519.
