Episode 112 – HAM Radio’s, CB’s and Emergency Communications

HAM Radio’s, CB radios and Emergency Communications. Another interview with a listener to this show and forum member Isaac Goldman, a.k.a. atomic17 on the forum. He’s extremely knowledgeable about communications equipment for emergencies and even as a hobby. He also wanted me to pass this along after you listen to this show: for those people who are self studying instead of taking a HAM class, dont just get the study guide, learn that and go take your exam. You’ll get your license but have no clue whats really going on inside your radio, and if/when something breaks or goes wrong no way to fix it. He highly recommends you get and at least skim the ARRL ENGINEERS reference manual. You dont need the latest version but it explains very well how your radio works as well as several intiresting peices of gear you can build for yourself. You’ll love this interview and get ready to beef up your disaster communications.
