[Blindtlk] Ham radio

[T. Joseph Carter]

For the record, there’s not a list on the nfbnet server, but looking 
around I just stumbled across one on the nfbcal server (where the 
Braille Monitor list is)

Here’s the listinfo link:

https://www.nfbcal.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/nfb-hams

They are actually a division these days.

I’m not yet licensed myself, but you could literally give me the test 
right this minute and I WOULD pass it.  *smile*  I need to find a VE.
