The point was made by Director of the Youlou Radio Movement, Donald De Riggs, during NBC’s Face to face program on Tuesday, which focused on Emergency Communication and the Use of Ham Radio.
Ham radio, also known as Amateur radio, is the use of radio frequency spectrum for purposes of non-commercial exchange of messages, private recreation and emergency communication.
Mr. De Riggs said there are varying types of radios that operate on different frequencies and have multiplicity of applications.
