Description:
Color print on glossy paperDimensions: 31" x 40 3/4"Condition: as found, water stain along top margin, bright colors throughoutThis American Radio Relay League divides the world into radio relay league zones rather than political or geographic boundaries. The map could be thought of as a ham radio listeners "bird's ear" view of the world. Each zone is identified by the call letters for that zone, immediately recognizable to the experienced ham radio operator and part of a language unique to this kind of radio communication.
