    I’m just bursting to use my radio with lots of knobs on to help out in a disaster. Since real disasters don’t actually happen really often I’m thinking of making one up…..what do you think guys?

    Folks, an Amateur Radio license (Ham Radio) does not require knowledge of Morse Code anymore! The test to obtain a license is multiple choice, and easy to get (2 nights of study).

    I have just had a qsl with some policemen they were in their police car I think. They asked me for my address, I think they wanted to come round and admire my rig cos I did tell them it has over 30 knobs on it. But I gave the address of a guy who lives one block down who I know slightly he told me they were there for ages looking fo a radio and he doesn’t have one ha ha ha !! Ham radio sure is fun 73′s everybody

    If you don’t register you should still read the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual so you know what your doing on air.

    I finally finnished reading the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual. I filed for and recived a Federal Registration Number (FRN) at the FCC’s web site. Next step visit the SARATOGA FIRE STATION (which is the closest place to me giving the tests) and take the Level 1 Technician class test.

    Oh dear….well as I’m only chatting it should be ok. My mate says that you don’t actually need a licence unless you are trying to sell something so I hope I am still OK

    @licencefreeham the reason they don’t like that is because it is illegal you can get into a lot of trouble like that. also that callsign you made up is an instant give away they use certain codes depending on your location your callsign does not meet that standerd.

    I’ve just bought a Yaesu radio with a lot of knobs on. I’m using the TV antenna so SWR is a bit poor but I’ve already made a few contacts with other hams. Some were a bit snooty when they found out I have no licence so I have made up the callsign ‘Arsemeat778′ and now I am proud to be a ham 73′s everybody

    Walter Cronkite was a big liberal phony, who had a liberal agenda. It is also a known fact that he became a ham so that he could meet young boys, if you know what I mean there jerky !

    Although i love this hobby there is way too much negativity from the old school hams towards the new hams. yeah i know the CW test is gone and the testing is a lot less technical than it was “back in the day” but we cant help that. Pretty much for the most part, alot of the hams ive met are well, assholes, and very cold towards the new hams. just go to any ham club and you will see what i mean. This has to change or the hobby will die off.

    Im glad that this little show we produced back in 2003 had such a positive impact on you and that it brought you to the hobby. Now, its your turn to “share the magic” of ham radio with others. If you can get just one more person to join our ranks, then you will have given the hobby a lasting legacy. –

    bosshogg013641,
    it all depends, usually on a repeater designated by either ares for disaster or skywarn for weather for local traffic and then certain hf bands for national disaster.
