Default Re: Amateur radio

If anyone is really serious about learning how this works, the very, very best thing to do first is to get a radio that covers the frequencies and modes of interest, and learn how to use it. You don't need a license (in the US) to buy equipment, only to TRANSMIT A SIGNAL. You can, and should, listen, listen, and listen some more to the existing activity to familiarize yourself with "how the whole thing works." It won't take long before some of the mystery disappears. There is no substitute for "hands-on" LISTENING.
