Why are VHF and UHF repeaters so quiet much of the time? Where is everybody? When you tune in on the local 2-meter repeater, more often than not it’s nothing but cricketsand they’re not chirping PL tones.
Oldtimers would tell you someone on the repeater was always willing to talk during the day. Many were retirees with time on their hands or hams operating mobile while running errands or traveling to and from work.
Some people consider ham radio operators to be the original hackers. In this talk, Dan Romanchik, KB6NU, will discuss some of the cool development projects that ham radio hackers are working on and talk about how you can get your own hacker, errrrr ham radio license.1
This talk was presented at HOPE XV at St. John’s University in New York City on July 12, 2024.
