Get an amateur radio license (or, in Canada - it's a "Certificate of Proficiency"), and then spend a couple of years participating in exercises with a local club. That way you'll learn about propagation, what makes a goo

If you’re going to use a radio in an emergency, the radio is less important than the skill of the operator. So, if you’re serious, go do the test and get the license so that you can practice. Radios don’t work like in the movies. There’s a

Fond memories of reading many series of books on my Palm IIIxe. The green glow of the backlight made for a relaxing bedtime. HHGTTG, Dune, Gibson. I lost a Kobo in an airline seat pocket and had enjoyed it for only a year. While it was a b

My personal opinion of W3W, while a cool experiment, has always been: over-engineered. To hear they're raising their hackles is disappointing. From Amateur Radio: Maidenhead grid squares + NATO phonetic alphabet are technical but adequ
