What would you do if all avenues for communication went down? How would you get into contact with your family? If you don't want this to be you then join our weekly Technician HAM Radio Course on Zoom. We will meet every Wednesday, starting September 6-November 8, 2023 at 8:30pm on Zoom. This course will be led Eric Whiteside. We hope to see you there.
Why HAM Radio?
Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, to communicate during natural disasters, in a S.H.T.F. situation, and for emergencies, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.
You can set up a ham radio station anywhere!
Although Amateur Radio operators get involved for many reasons, they all have in common a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles, and pass an examination for the FCC license to operate on radio frequencies known as the "Amateur Bands." These bands are radio frequencies allocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by ham radio operators.
