#Kx3 ham radio deluxe tutorial upgrade
Ham Radio clubs, including our local club, the Nashua Area Radio Club, provide many resources to help you get your first license, upgrade to a new license class, and learn about the many aspects of our hobby. Upgrading to a new license class provides more opportunities to communicate over longer distances. Getting your license can open up a world of possibilities. There are so many interesting aspects of Ham Radio which is what makes is such a great hobby. It is always a thrill at the end of the class to see so many people earn their licenses or upgrades. Teaching provides a way to improve my presentation skills and also helps me to really understand the material that we teach about Amateur Radio. Recently I have joined a team of club members who teach license classes to others who want to get licensed or upgrade their existing Amateur Radio licenses.

#Kx3 ham radio deluxe tutorial how to
As a Ham I taught myself how to code in Python and about the Raspberry Pi and I built the DX Alarm Clock. In my day job, I am a program manager for software development projects, but its been a while since I have built anything. Most hams love do-it-yourself technical projects, including building a station, home brewing an antenna, building a radio or other station component. We can also make contacts through satellites orbiting the earth and even the International Space Station. Many also have a software designed radio (SDR), where much of the radio functionality is implemented using Software, we use sound cards to run digital modes, which are a lot like texting over the radio, and we use the internet extensively as part of operating. Most Ham Radio operators have one or more computers in their shack. Joe has developed weak signal digital communication modes that let us communicate by bouncing signals off the moon!Īs technology has advanced, so has the use of it in Ham Radio. We even have a nobel laureate, Joe Taylor K1JT who is a ham. As technology advances, so does the technology used in our hobby. Many have had very successful careers in STEM fields, all launched by their interest in Ham Radio at a young age. I only became a Ham 5 years ago but many of my fellow Ham Radio operators got their license when they were in their early teens and used what they learned to launch their careers.
