Take a look back to 1972 and an age before the internet and mobile phones
and where the only means of communicating with people living in distant
parts was a landline telephone
Even in those days, telephone calls to different parts of the world were
not easy and often at the busiest times, Christmas for instance, calls had
to be handled manually by staff at telephone exchanges.
But one group of people could overcome the difficulty of contacting people
on the other side of the world as they used their "radio ham" equipment to
maintain worldwide radio contact.

Berry with some of the cards posted to Stone Scouts from the world wide
fellowship of radio hams.
