In Episode 57 of The Ham Radio Guy, we dive into one of the most time-honored and essential aspects of amateur radio: traffic handling. Join us as we explore the mission and methods of Radio Relay International (RRI)—a modern organization with deep roots in the legacy of message relays and emergency communication.
Whether you're curious about how radiograms move across the country, how nets are structured for maximum efficiency, or how traffic handling supports national service and public preparedness, this episode breaks it all down. We’ll cover the fundamentals, share real-world examples, and explain how you can get involved.
If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to be the link in a nationwide communications chain, this episode is for you.
