Respond to the call of ham radio 

Despite its old-school reputation, amateur radio is on the rise, and the airwaves are busier than ever. That’s no surprise: being a ham is a lot of fun, providing an independent way to keep in touch with friends, family, and new acquaintances around the world―and even beyond with its ability to connect with the International Space Station! Hams are also good in a crisis, keeping communications alive and crackling during extreme weather events and loss of communications until regular systems like cell phones and the internet are restored. Additionally, it’s enjoyable for good, old-fashioned tech geek reasons―fiddling with circuits and bouncing signals off the ionosphere just happens to give a lot of us a buzz!

In addition, he coaches you on how to prepare for the FCC-mandated licensing exam and tunes you up for ultimate glory in the ham radio hall of fame as a Radiosport competitor! With this book, you’ll learn to: 

  • Set up and organize your station 
  • Communicate with people around the world 
  • Prep for and pass the FCC exam 
  • Tune into the latest tech, such as digital mode operating
