(Because I'm always on my own when I set up the radio on the road, I seldom have any photos of me operating it. This came to my attention when I realised that I have at least a dozen photos of my radio sitting on a bench or table in some remote place, with no human interest. So last time I was afield [this time in a pole-built woodshed with no walls] I tried for a usable selfie of us both.)
Appearing also on My Corner of the World.
Now that´s something I haven´t hear for years and years. Dispice this digital revolution it´s still going strong apparently. It´s probably educational and interesting hobby.
ReplyDeleteThe woodpile brings on human interest too.
ReplyDeleteGreat selfie of you and the radio.

Pisi Prkl: Yes - ham radio is still going strong.
There is a gentleman called Bob Pakula [spelling] who has really brought it to light.
And also shortwave radio.

Yes, hams are still hammering away out there. The landscape has changed a lot in recent decades, but there are still amateur radio stations all over the world.
ReplyDelete14.060+Mhz is the QRP (low power) portion of the 20 metre band, so I tend to hang out there. But I use the whole band, depending on where the calling is best.
ReplyDeletemy friend is a passionate radio amateur :-).
ReplyDeleteI did this in my youth
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen one of those in a while. Good to put a face with the blog :)
