/////////////////////////////////////////// My First Ham Radio License: Posted: 18 Oct 2016 05:05 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37792 You are a professional only in case you are certified to be a professional. In spite of the operation field, only a license is the only evidence of your qualification and skills. The same thing is with amateur radio. If you want to use special techniques, you firstly need to learn how to use it and provide your knowledge. Passing the FCC test is the major and the easiest way to do so. Obtaining the FCC license is obligatory for every DX enthusiast or professional. No matter if you cooperate with emergency series, take part in ham contests and fairs or simply keep in touch with your friends from just around, you need to get a license. This is the only chance to get a permission to use radio gear as well as DX radio stations in spite of your purpose. /////////////////////////////////////////// Amateur Radio vs Emergency Radio: Posted: 18 Oct 2016 05:05 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37791 We all know that a ham radio comes with so many fun things to do. They range from ham radio contesting to fests, flea markets and more. Others get involved in the amateur radio for other reasons. This type of communication has proved to be reliable and efficient in emergencies. For this reason, many operators start their career as hams to help other people who have their backs against the wall due to critical situations. Many public services cooperate with ham radio operators on regular basis. However, you should not think that amateur radio is the same as emergency radio. They differ in many ways though having some common features. Frequency is the first thing that differs DX radio stations from emergency ones. Emergency radio operates mainly on traditional FM and AM bands. Shortwave frequencies are also available in some rare cases. They are used to inform people on weather conditions as well as upcoming disasters. The only problem is that those bands and frequencies will be unavailable in case of disasters. Moreover, internet and cell phone connections are also very likely to go down. Sounds like an apocalypses, doesn't it? Luckily, ham radio will be operating whatever happens. This is why it appears to be so efficient in case of extreme situations. People use it to form special rescue team as well as inform others on the closest shelters. /////////////////////////////////////////// Warning for 'Long Overdue' Solar Storm, EMP Flares: Posted: 18 Oct 2016 05:04 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37790 Solar storms threaten Earth about every 100 years and experts warn we are overdue. Now, researchers have released the first ever map that shows which areas of the U.S. are at high risk of being hit by the next intense storm. The map was built using geomagnetic storm measurements and data from magnetic materials beneath the Earth - revealing Minnesota is particularly at risk of being blasted by solar material. /////////////////////////////////////////// Ham Talk Live #36 -- Starting with D-STAR: Posted: 18 Oct 2016 04:56 PM PDT http://www.eham.net/articles/37789 This week on Ham Talk Live!, the topic is Getting Started with D-STAR.
