<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>
