For the month of April 2024
We are going to work on building an Amateur Radio Field Operations Guide (FOG) for Idaho and everyone around the world is welcome to join in.
I know we have collected some of this information in the past But now we are focused on accuracy and solid information. The more Hams that participates the more we can confirm the data. A FOG has more than frequencies so be prepared to do some research.
