If you are interested in
becoming an Amateur radio operator, there are many places to begin
learning. A
good place to start is the American Radio Relay
League (ARRL) site. To
obtain your first license, you must learn
some basic electronics, FCC rules and operating procedures. There
are several books to get started and classes may be available that are near to
you as well. You can find all of this information here. Why would anyone want to do this? There are several reasons: interest in electronics, building equipment, meeting people across the globe, the challenge of contacting all states, countries etc. There are many aspects of amateur radio that provide a wide variety of operating modes, technology and fun. Digital communications, slow scan TV and even communications using satellites are possible when you obtain your license. I primarily operate CW;
(Continuous Wave) more commonly known as morse
code. At first, CW can appear to
be a difficult thing to learn and may even seem like an antiquated form of communication. Have a look around to learn more about Amateur Radio!! 73's from John - KI7V
