The Central Toronto Amateur Radio Club (CenTor) is using zombies as recruiting bait for a new course that's actually designed to increase radio communication skills should a disaster of any kind ever occur. Also known as ham radios, these hobby radios are useful when satellites are down.
"During a zombie apocalypse, the only reliable form of communication would be using Amateur Radio, as cellphones and the Internet will become useless," Don Trynor, president of CenTor and a licensed Amateur Radio operator said in a press release. "By teaching people to use Amateur Radio, we can provide them with a valuable skill that they can use in times of emergency or natural disaster to stay in communication with one another."
The 10-week amateur radio course covers basic electronics, radio wave propagation, antenna theory, wavelengths, among other things, and accumulates in an exam resulting in a license. The course starts May 1st.
