How To Become An Amateur Radio Operator

Ham radio is a radio for amateurs. It is a great hobby, with many facets and interests. People who are hams are often referred to as operators. Most hams operate from home, using hand-held or mobile transceivers on the VHF and UHF bands. Authors can talk to other hams in their neighborhood or around the world, about their families, cars, and jobs. Or they can participate in contests, exchange messages with other hams across town or the ocean, or communicate with astronauts. From the book about ham radio, you will understand the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All that is needed is a source of electricity, an antenna, and a radio. This means that hams can communicate from virtually anywhere using portable equipment that can run off of batteries or generators. In addition to talking to other hams around the world, many ham operators volunteer their time during emergencies to help provide communications for police and fire departments when normal systems fail. From the books about radio broadcasting, you’ll find that operating a ham radio is easy once you’ve learned the basics.

Books About Radios and Their History

The word “radio” was first used in the early 1900s by scientists working on sending messages through space using electromagnetic waves to transmit information through the air. The first attempts were made by people around 500 years ago when they tried to send signals by lighting fires or waving flags. Radio has become a part of our daily life. Many people have radios in their homes and cars. Books about the history of the radio will tell you how radio electronics were invented. How the broadcasting was working in different countries, including Italy and the United States. In 1897 Guglielmo Marconi began experiments with radio waves, transmitting signals between two buildings in Bologna. In 1899, he succeeded in sending a message in Morse code some 50 miles across the English Channel. In 1901, Marconi sent the first transatlantic radio message from England to Newfoundland. By 1908, commercial wireless telegraph service was offered across the Atlantic Ocean. Read the preview online and order the whole book!
