Random question for today: Considering people who are not amateurs, if you wanted to create increased visibility and participation in amateur radio, what would you do?
  • @667 @k0stk maybe I'm lucky with the clubs around me in FL. They'd be so excited to help a new ham they would probably buy you breakfast, drive you to the test, and give you a radio. My club is growing with 100+ members. The other local group who doesn't like club bureaucracy and paying dues just has a bi-weekly dinner at different restaurants. They are growing in size too.

  • @jecxjo @667 the people who told me they don't want to memorize the answers and would rather fully understand all Q's never ended up taking the tests.

    It's not all or nothing. You don't need 100% to pass.

  • @HakFoo @vk6flab The real learning begins (and continues indefinitely) AFTER you get your license. Learn to follow the rules and not hurt anyone

    Go through HamStudy.org and start taking practice tests. (I also picked up Gordon Wests books and did a once-through).

    One tip is to grab the tech and general at the same sitting.

    Got an cheap HT (handheld dual band)? Get on RepeaterBook, program repeaters in, and start listening to local nets. Test in person if you can but online is also avail

  • Regaining interest in amateur radio
  • @K0STK @chocolatebarcandyham

    if you get bored with amateur radio, you're doing it wrong.

    if your club sucks, contribute and make it better!
