Amateur Radio

Posted by Eric Stein - April 7, 2008 CE @ 02:13:44 UTC
Many of my friends at WPI use handheld radios to communicate frequently throughout the day. I've realized that it would be much more cost effective and convenient for me to just get a radio rather than using my cell all the time. Radio is also a much more group-friendly communications medium, so organizing things would be that much easier.

So, I'm looking to get licensed as a Technician Class operator by the FCC. The WPI Wireless Associaion is holding a testing on the 17th, when I'm going to try for my license. I hear I can get a decent starter radio on eBay for 60 bucks or so. Radio ahoy!
