Amateur
Radio
From KE5DDZ
Greetings from Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. Grid: DM65oa. Bear with me as I get things written, built and uploaded.
It's taking a bit more time than I'd anticipated, but I'll get it done. I'm 
usually monitoring one of the 2 meter
frequencies -- 145.330
MHz That's the repeater for the Amateur
Radio Caravan Club (the ARCC) of which I am a member.
We have a new club website, thanks to Mark Goodrum, KD5KSM!
Thanks Mark! You Rock!
The club newsletters are available on the club website, It is published it in PDF format (which is Adobe Reader
format) so you could either read it on your computer screen, or print it up for
posterity!
If you do not currently have Adobe Reader, you can download the reader
here 
for free.
Thanks,
Paula, KE5DDZ

A number of my "non-ham"
friends have asked me, "Paula, why in the heck are you into ham
radio? What's the point? Like... Why bother with it when there are
computers, the Internet, and cell phones?"
Well, there are LOTS of reasons and for those of you who do
not know much about amateur (ham) radio . . .
Here are some links that will hopefully help explain the answers to those
questions.

Operators Do?" ~ there you can read about how to get involved

Radio Operators Do?)

If
you see something dyslexic, PLEASE write me & tell me. haha I
proof-read like crazy, but sometimes I still miss these things. I'm
famous for backing-talkwards and stuff. I've been known to get home to the
"QHT" instead of the QTH. And I'm just waiting for the day when
I accidentally call QC, QC, QC... instead of CQ, CQ, CQ!! Earlier, I had
my grid as md, instead of dm. So alert me if you catch something like
that. Thanks!
Come back and visit my site again real soon. I hope to be updating and adding
things every so often -- for a while anyway. ~More stuff & more links to come,
soon.
For now,
73!
