1. Resources for Your Ham Radio
Ham radio can be considered a resource intensive hobby and hobbies can usually be somewhat
technical. In anything that is technical, you will normally find plenty of manuals that are loaded
with a chain of instructions on ‘how to’, specification charts, circuit diagrams and controls. Over
the recent past decades, emergence of computers as well as the Internet has helped to provide
you with cheap, quick access to an abundant resource bank that may previously have not been
taken into account. Hence, you may now want to explore or give a thought to these resources.
Over a short period of time, many people have discovered several user groups on the Internet
that provide a spot-on stream of wonderful information as well as help new relationships to form
which they eventually continue to greatly value in time to come. To find a reasonably suitable
user group that is equally relevant for your own ham radio quest, you can turn to social networks
and search engines. Many people use Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo as well as Google to
gain access to this information.
You can use your preferred search engine to search for specific ‘Google groups’. Once you get
there, you can further research your particular topic. Some do it for their specific radio models.
Repeat your search with ‘Yahoo groups’ as well as other search engines. Most of these groups
usually require you to request permission for joining them. You can obtain this permission fairly
quickly, maybe just a few hours to some days, depending on the moderator and the time devoted
by him in moderating this group. You can also include a note regarding yourself and the reasons
for your interest in joining the group, which will help in ensuring your approval.
Yet, there is a far easier way for finding all these superb resources in one place. Simply join to
www.socialhams.net and you can enjoy the unique experience.
