Ham Radio How-To Videos

N7QJM, Kurt, has created a few "introduction to ham radio" videos and uploaded them to the Internet.  As there are getting to be more and more of these and as I already have a few tips and other resources for newcomers to our hobby, I decided to setup a page dedicated to these intro videos. This is sort of modern-day elmering. Google now has a player that allowed me to show these directly on my page (routed to Kurt’s Youtube listing - which is offered via a channel available for publishing… so I did). Pretty cool.

Kurt’s videos offer tips:

  • on getting a ham radio license in the U.S.
  • ham radio frequencies available
  • selecting and using a HT
  • basics of making a HF QSO (QSO protocol)
  • using a multimeter to find a coax short
  • SWR

Anyway, if you’re new to ham radio, I hope you’ll enjoy these resources.

And hats-off to Kurt and others who take the time to introduce others to ham radio.
