In 1971, a California Highway Patrol officer and veteran of the Navy signal corps, who happened to be a ham, came into possession of a little radio emporium on a wooden train platform in Burlingame, CA. Bob Ferrero (Bob), who was then K6AHV and later became W6RJ, was a dedicated California Highway Patrolman. He loved ham radio and was determined to make a go of starting a business selling amateur radio products.
Today, HRO is a family owned business with multiple sales locations throughout the United States which include a formidable presence on the Internet, making it the largest Ham Radio dealership in the world.
HRO is continually expanding and one day there may be a location near you!
