Subj : Topics Overview To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Sep 01 2019 12:02 am While this information is in the Ham Radio Information Door on The Thunderbolt BBS, I've decided to create monthly posts (days 1-28) on various items of the amateur radio hobby. These posts will recycle each month, as I don't consider messages over 30 days old to still be "timely". Much of the data applies to amateur radio operators in the U.S. and its territories. If you live elsewhere, please check with your countries amateur radio organization or communications agency for more details. For the ham radio humor (items 15A through 15Q ), much of the info is "tongue in cheek"...and some, you may not want to use on the air. The topics will include: 1) Interested In Ham Radio?? 2) Some Famous Hams 3) W1AW Bulletin Information 4) Expired Licenses During A Government Shutdown 5) Amateur Radio License Question Pools 6) Vanity Callsigns 7) Ham Radio Classes And Exams (Comprehensive Bulletin) 8) 10 Commandments For Technicians 9) Patience During The Nets 10) Third Party Traffic 11) International Operations 12) Reciprocal Operating Agreements 13) APRS Information 14) ARRL RadioGrams and Formal Written Traffic 15) Ham Radio Humor, including: A) Ham Radio Awards B) QRN In The Grass C) In Big Trouble D) Missing Q Signals E) New Contsting Rig F) No New Rigs Allowed G) The Poor Ham H) The Ham Radio Pager I) The Ham Snake J) Ham Spray K) Having A Ham As A Pet L) No Static In The Shack M) Radio Rules N) Sign For The Shack O) The Wishing Well P) DX Movies Q) The Triple Play 16) U.S. Amateur Radio Band Plans 17) Contesting Tips, and Little Pistols Versus Big Guns 18) Courtesy, and Good Amateur Practice 19) Morse Code Got The Job, and CW Beats SMS 20) D-Star and D-Rats 21) Echolink And CQ100 22) Hamfests 23) Selected Ham Radio Websites 24) Several Ham Radio Poems written by WX4QZ 25) Ham Radio History 26) Shack Safety 27) Satellites And Packet Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, Little Rock, Arkansas --- SBBSecho 3.08-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - tbolt.synchro.net (801:1/2)
