Glenn and Bob VE3IRB present about the amateurs around the time of WWII. With them they have a number of historical memorabilia detailing the lives of amateurs at this time. With the scare of spies, amateur radio was banned during the war and amateurs were forced to turn over their rigs to the government.

Even when presenting, Bob managed to grab a number of wonderful photographs at the event.
