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.
