There are somethings that were beyond of our comprehension when we first heard about Scouting all those years ago where things like the communication badge involved bulky transmitting equipment such as base stations and the mobile transeivers of the late 70's and 80's had the depth of the average hardback book even if relatively short in length.
Uually this is taught by an experienced amateur radio operator who has a license and overseas such contacts for the scout although he or she may study for and gain a "novice" license too.
Little did we anticipate the slim versions using tiny chips that fit snugly into your hand that are both cheap and common place today that make making contacts "in the field" so much easier.
