In this episode of ARRL’s monthly On The Air podcast: “With ARRL Field Day weekend just a little more than two weeks away, we talk to ARRL’s Contest Program Manager Paul Bourque, N1SFE; Digital RF Engineer John McAuliffe, W1DRF and Education and Learning Support Specialist Max Freedman, N4ML, about how newer hams can navigate the most popular on-air event of the year. Get recommendations for setups, modes, goals, and more.”1
Whether you’re interested in emergency communication, electronics, or just want to talk to people worldwide, passing the ham radio test is the first step. To get licensed, you need to demonstrate an understanding of FCC regulations as well as knowledge of radio station operation and safety considerations by taking a written test.
Steve, KM9G, encourages new hams to experiment and ignore negativity. We discuss paradigms, cognitive dissonance, and the importance of innovation in ham radio. Keep hope alive!
GMRS continues to grow with lots of new licenses being issued every month. There are a couple of things that you need to be aware of to avoid the disappointment that comes when you discover your expectations and the reality of this poplar radio service are misaligned.
In this video we’ll look at the top 10 things you need to know as you consider becoming a part of the GMRS community.
