Book excerpt: Why do we Need Ham?The All NEW Amateur Radio Beginners Guide is up to date Information to get the most out of your Ham Radio. It is all you need to get started with Ham Radio or Amateur Radio!What can you do with Ham Radio?Today's world is connected by complex forms of communications (cellular communication and internet). These forms of communication are very easy to use but rely on massive infrastructures between the two individuals communicating. If a cog in that wheel breaks, the whole system comes crashing down. Conversely, amateur radio relies only on the two parties involved. Just a few things are needed on either end to make things work. A power source, radio, antenna and a few other accessories depending on the desired mode of communications. Ham radio and the entire radio spectrum can be an indispensable tool in emergencies - large and small. Ham radio is a fun hobby that affords you to talk to other Ham radio operators locally and around the world. Depending on your license class, Ham radio is used for a wide variety of activities. It is also useful in emergencies, search and rescue operations in disaster situations where all communication networks are down. The beauty of ham radio is that it is independent of any resources whether grid or internet for operation. Astronauts also communicate with earth from space with ham radios. There are also multiple amateur radio satellites orbiting around the earth which can be used for communication even as an entry-level ham radio operator. Packet radio is a digital mode which affords operators to send data through amateur radios just like the internet.How Does this book Help you Prepare your License Examination?Throughout the book, important terms in technician, General and Advanced class examinations are used.Grab this guide today and learn:- What Ham Radio is.- Why you Need a Ham Radio - Radio and Signal Fundamentals- Picking your First Ham Radio - Setting Up a Ham Radio Station- Requirements to set up a remote-controlled ham radio operation - Setting up a Radio Shack - Ham Radio transceivers - The Frequency Spectrum - Modulation and Signals - Characteristics of Radio Wave and the importance of the Ionosphere in long-distance communication- Standard Call Sign Phonetics - Radio Services - Obtaining Ham Radio License for Technician Class, General Class , Extra Class - United States Amateur Radio Bands- Ham Radio Operations on a very High Frequency (VHF) - Starting amateur communication with the aid of The BaoFeng UV-5R Dual Band Two Way Radio communication setup - Ham communication in High Frequency (HF) - Mobile Radio Antennas - Antenna Patterns - Types and Characteristics of Mobile Radio Antenna - Characteristics of Horizontal and Vertical Antennas- Setting up High Frequency (HF) Ham Radio Antennas- Terminologies Associated with Ham Radio Antennas- Antenna Safety - Understanding the Decibel System in Ham Radio communication - Split Frequency Operations - Importance of Attenuator in Ham Radio Communication - The Importance of Notch Filter- Types of ham radio Power Supply - Picking your Ham Radio Microphones- Important Ham Radio peripherals - Ham Station Grounding - Making Your First Radio Contact (QSO) - Working DX (Calling Long Distance with the Ham Radio) - Confirming DX Calls For DXcc Membership - Ham Radio Remote Operations- Remote Operation Using Skype - Setting Up the Transceiver for Remote Operation - How HRD Works - Joining a Amateur Radio Clubs - How Call Signs are assigned - Understanding the Vanity Call Sign Program - Where to go to For Vanity Call Sign - Safety Tips - RF Exposure Evaluation and lots more.Do not wait any longer, download "Ham Radio Start Up Guide: A No-Fluff Beginner's Guide To Setting Up And Using Your Ham Radio" right away and start your journey from beginner to Advanced ham radio enthusiast!
