| == Ham Radio Station ==
| |
|
| |
| There are Ham Radio Operators in every community that would love to demonstrate their equipment and skill. Ask your MBC for help to find one near you.

| == Ham Radio Campout ==
| |
| A few years ago, one of the "Roadkill Patrol" scout leaders brought his Ham Radio on a campout where there was electrical supply. He then hung his radio antenna high up in the trees where he got pretty good reception. His radio operation there was a success.

| |
| == Scout Camp Radio Station ==
| |
| This merit badge works well for those scout summer camps that operate their own weak frequency radio stations.
| |
|
| |
| == Broadcast Station Tour ==
| |
| Some commercial radio stations have a visitors gallery for guests.
| |
|
| |
| == Virtual Field Trip ==
| |
| Many MBC for this subject have an amateur radio station at home with which they can do a virtual tour with your patrol. Even better if their radio has a computer interface / share screen feature.
