/////////////////////////////////////////// Amateur Radio Operators Gather for Hamfest in Hastings: Posted: 20 Jun 2016 06:24 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37015 Swapping parts and stories face-to-face, when radios and transmitters are usually how these friends talk. "It's nice to see people that you talk to all the time in person, and that's part of what the Hamfest is all about," says organizer Brad Harpham. It's the first Greater Midwest Radio Show, and Harpham says they hope to grow it into Nebraska's biggest such event for regional amateur radio operators - folks who still use frequencies to communicate, a method more than a century old. "Federal Communications Commission lets us have some parts of the band, and we get an amateur radio license and we can either talk to people using voice, or there's new digital modes, kind of like digital text messages and that kind of stuff," says Harpham. Though there is old equipment on display at the show as well, hams aren't a thing of the past, operators say, with more people getting licensed every year. /////////////////////////////////////////// Ham Radio Equipment: Posted: 20 Jun 2016 06:23 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37014 Buying a proper equipment can be a tough challenge for beginners.
