Question of the day - #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
How did you get into amateur radio? Was there a moment that hooked you?
#AmateurRadio #HamRadio #QuestionOfTheDay
The first time I was hooked, I found a book at the library when I was 8 or 9. It was a spiral-bound book that walked the reader through the process of building a #CW transmitter and receiver.
I never got to build it, as it was hard for a kid to source all the parts, but I would love to find that book again and build the station.
Unfortunately, I can't even kinda remember the name of the book, but if i ever saw it again, I would totally recognize it.

It was pretty chilly in the wind, but I managed to survive long enough for a good #sota activation.
So, the thought occurred to me today, Wreck Beach at UBC is part of Pacific Spirit Park, which is a #ParksOnTheAir park. That means that you could activate the park while completely nude. NPOTA!
heyyyy fedi, I'm gonna be trying to get my amateur radio license in like the coming week, does anyone have any good resources for that?
I'm in Canada, however the types of things I need know are likely quite similar to what you need to know in the US, so resources for the US are fine as well
