Ruth, KM4LAO, featured on NPR show

May 3, 2018 By Dan KB6NU Leave a Comment

Ruth, KM4LAO, is getting a lot of publicity these days—and for good reason. She’s a college student at Kettering University who’s trying to revive the amateur radio club there. As part of that, I taught a one-day Tech class at Kettering last Saturday.

Yesterday, she was interviewed by Cynthia Canty, host of the NPR radio show, Stateside. The eight-minute segment covers how and why she got started in amateur radio and how she’s trying to get other students interested in our hobby. It was a pleasure helping her get the Kettering University club up and running again.
