<p>I have recently started to venture into learning more about amateur
|
|
radio (also known as ham radio). I have always been fascinated by
|
|
radio technology, but haven't had the time to learn how it works.
|
|
Now that I have graduated from university, I have more time on my
|
|
hands and in late September 2016, I started learning about amateur
|
|
radio.</p>
|
|
<p>My girlfriend, Denisse, is a Computer Engineering student at RIT and
|
|
I figured that it would be a good motivation for both of us to try
|
|
and learn enough about radio technology so that the two of us could
|
|
communicate with one another while she is still attending university
|
|
in New York. So, as of writing this, my goal is to accomplish
|
|
transcontinental radio communication.</p>
|
|
<p>My plans as of now are to obtain my Technician and General license
|
|
through <a href="http://www.arrl.org/">ARRL</a> and then proceed to
|
|
build my own pieces of radio equipment before purchasing professional
|
|
equipment. I have read numerous times in the
|
|
<a href="http://www.arrl.org/shop/ARRL-Ham-Radio-License-Manual-3rd-Edition/">ARRL Ham Radio License Manual</a>
|
|
that taking this approach is a valuable experience and it will help
|
|
you understand the internals of the radio technology you use. This
|
|
helps one to debug certain issues that may arise when working with
|
|
the equipment that they use.</p>
