As a teen, I wanted to get into amateur or ham radio. The technology fascinates me – being able to communicate over vast distances on only a few watts of power – and the community service aspects drew me in. But being a teen at the time, I was busy doing many other things (sports, computers, cars, etc.) to commit to it fully so I held back.
A few months ago, I came across my father’s old QSL card and my interest in amateur radio was sparked again. Last week I ordered two ARRL publications, the Ham Radio License Manual (Level 1 Technician) and the ARRL’s Tech Q & A. I plan on taking the Technician exam next month and I’m currently researching which type of rig to invest in. Stay tuned…
You forgot the Bad Pun Alert…
Very Bad Pun indeed.
In the future, I’ll record some of my radio contacts and turn them into MP3′s so that I can broadcast podcasts of my broadcasts.
