In addition to being vintagetechobsessions, I now have an HAM Technician's license with the call sign
KD0RIX
A blog about all kinds of vintage technology from simple mechanisms of the late 1800s through electronics and robotics of the 1980s. Many posts will be typecast and some will be off topic bits from everyday life. The blog will wander and meander with my quasi-evolving and ever changing interests.
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNow that you have your ticket Technicians also have some HF privileges if you know code so I hope to hear you on the air. Then there are repeaters liked on Echolnk and IRLP. Several of our county and adjacent county repeaters are on EchoLink.
That picture would make a great QSL card.

Oooh, coolness! I have this vague memory that HAM operators were crucial during some of the early NASA flights. And apparently they are still doing it! See http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2000/ast21aug_1/ and http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/reference/radio/
ReplyDeletevery cool. Wanting to copy Morse was what started me collecting typewriters!
