Ham Radio, the original Social Media

I wrote this for my club, and decided it was worth sharing with the wider Ham Radio community.

With Field Day adding a bonus for Social Media, OCARC was in full effect on 3 popular Social Media outlets.

Ham radio may be the original social media, but it now has plenty of company. For those of you unfamiliar with the many options out there to connect with a large number of people, here is a brief generalized description:

Facebook:

Facebook help you connect with friends and groups that are of interest to you. Very much like our weekly net

Twitter:

Twitter specializes in short messages (called tweets) that are limited to 140 characters. Think of the NTS radiograms.

Instagram:

Primarily for sharing photos. Perhaps a perfect platform for QSL card collections and SSTV!

Connect with OCARC on our social media platforms. And feel free to share, retweet and favorite!
