The members of the small, but vibrant Free State Amateur Radio Club will be fox-like, and go into hiding with 2 meter transmitters, Saturday morning in the Anne Arundel area.
No
license required to hunt these animals, although as easy as it is to
have an FCC ticket, it might help. Friends and family welcome too! The
only qualification or charge is to have fun safely and have your start
odometer recorded.
