Ham Radio will be a good thing to have when society collapses later this year...make sure you have a generator and or batteries....the internet and phones (cel and landline) will be deactivated by the government...Radio will be ONLY way to get a message out and to find out where the UN troops are massing....we will need HAM to coordinate our attacks in defense of our Nation!!!!! God bless the HAM users, and God Bless America!!!

Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I was starting to think that Morse code and HAM radio were becoming obsolete. However, I'm beginning to change my mind. Maybe it's even more relevant today than it was before.

Why in the fuck would you buy a CD of call signs? The FCC ULS database changes every single day!

I have a simple solution to callsign logs: qrz. com

Can you give me to any software in the internet for practicing my Morse code for my exam. Both sending and receiving. Is there any software for that. I am from India.

Thanks

If cell phones and the internet are deactivated by the govenrment, it won't be difficult to take out hams either. Big Yagi antennas and verticals stand out. A discreetly placed dipole can be hard to spot, but easily triangulated with RDF equipment. I'm sure it will never come to that though.

You are the reason HAM is a dying breed. You epitomize everything that is wrong with HAM.

Hey Mr. Rogers N7QJM/LID,

I am checking my LOG to see if I have you in it. If so, I will delete the record. I am also checking my QSL cards. If I find one with your call sign, I will immediately discard it into the trash.

This guy is an abomination to Amateur Radio.
