People use ham radio to talk across town\, around the world\, or even into space\, all without the Internet or cell phones. It’s fun\, social\, educational\, and can be a lifeline during times of need. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlthough Amateur Radio operators get involved for many reasons\, they all have in common a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles\, and pass an examination for the FCC license to operate on radio frequencies known as the “Amateur Bands.” These bands are radio frequencies allocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by ham radio operators. \n\n\n\nMillions of amateur operators in all areas of the world communicate with each other directly or through ad hoc relay systems and amateur-satellites. They exchange messages by voice\, data and morse code. The amateur and amateur-satellite services are for qualified persons of any age who are interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without compensation. These services present an opportunity for self-training\, intercommunication\, and technical investigations. Twenty-nine small frequency bands throughout the spectrum are allocated to this service internationally. \n\n\n\nGordon West WB6NOA\n\n\n\nSpecial Guest Gordon West WB6NOA will join us!\n\n\n\nGordo will be our main speaker for the workshop. He will talk about how Ham Radio is used in emergencies and share some real audio recordings (short) of emergency communications in action. He will also address recent changes to the FCC filing process. \n\n\n\nGordon West\, WB6NOA\, has been a ham radio operator for more than 50 years. He holds the top Amateur Extra Class ham license\, along with First Class General Radiotelephone Certificate with RADAR endorsement. The leading ham radio educator in America\, he was named “Instructor of the Year” by the ARRL\, and the “2006 Amateur of the Year” by the Dayton Amateur Radio Association.  \n\n\n\nAPRIL 17\, 2021\, 11 AM Pacific Time \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister today for this free online workshop!\n\n\n\n	Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.
