No cell phones. No internet.  How did serviceman possibly communicate during World War II?!  One way was with radio.  Learn the basics of amateur radio and earn your Radio merit badge.

  • View the Battleship Cove’s historic radio rooms and equipment
  • Identify the different types of radio stations and waves
  • Chart the electromagnetic spectrum and identify parts of a radio
