Ham Radio 360: 220MHz in the Real World

I’ve long wanted to do a show featuring the 1.25 Meter band (220MHz). Ron and Tim from Bridgecom stop in to tell us about what is happening in their world and prime us for a conversation with others about using the 220 band in the real world. Is it the forgotten band? Is it under-utilized? Let’s talk about it!
