Ham Radio

[tuathanach]

Back when I was a teen (a half century ago) I had in interest in amateur radio. I knew most of the techie stuff but never advanced with learning code. Now that I'm retired I may have to look around to see if that interest can be kindled anew.

Well, I would never want to discourage someone from learning Morse code, but the requirement to be proficient in Morse code was dropped some years back. I would guess that most new hams do not know Morse code.

The person who said that Morse code can sometimes get through when nothing else can is exactly correct, but knowing Morse code is no longer required. There are a lot of helps on the network to prepare you for the exam.

Go for it! Get your license!
