Ham Radio Hack – How to Use Ham Radio without a License!

max — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:56:04 +0000

I remember back when I was 11 years old, I was trying really hard to get a ham radio license so I could talk to people all over the world. I still remember staying up late nights, trying to learn English and Ham Radio at the same time. Well, Make has a great tutorial on how to get started on Ham Radio without a license.

In the days before Internet and Dial-ups, I think Ham Radio was like the “thing” you can do to talk to people all over the world. I am not sure how popular Ham Radio is nowdays but I am sure it’s still very a lively community.

Boy, I want to pursue this Ham Radio path again soon…

There’s plenty of fun to be had with ham radio even if you don’t have a license. You can get a hand held radio to listen in on what’s going on while you are out and about or get a base station/desktop radio. You can listen to activities on local repeaters. Repeaters allow ham radio operators to talk locally, they send a signal to a repeater and it transmits the signal to other radios in the area. You can listen in to their conversations or to Nets, regular ham meet us on repeaters that discuss a certain topic. A larger desktop radio with a longer antenna will also be able to receive amateur HF communications sent directly from ham radios around the world, you can listen to conversations from places like Germany, Kazakhstan, or Japan.

Why not think about retro, not retro products but retro in style like these cases that have been designed to look like old VHS video cassettes if any can remember what they were. It is cool these days to put something ultra modern inside something that represents older technology.

We have seen so many different iPod docks around, but nothing like the Einstein Sound Master Photon Ball iPod Dock; it is a long name for a device that basically plays music. However, although this may look like something from the “Buck Rogers” it is all flashing lights and not much else.

Nevertheless, when you consider the what has gone into the this compared the price of just $35, then is begins to look a lot more attractive, in more ways than one. It is not just an iPod dock either, it is an alarm and radio too, what more do you want for that sort of cash?

The Pill music player

They say that things appear to be getting smaller all of the time, and this Mp3 player is no exception to that rule. This tiny gadget is only slightly larger than the keys on a laptop keyboard, which gives you an idea of its size.

Controlling the device is easy, simply pull the capsule apart and then twist to control the Pill’s actions. Although because of its size, the device is limited to around thirty minutes of music play.

Trust me, I am an avid WinAmp addict who listens to internet radio constantly. Here’s a great DIY on how to make your own WiFi radio! The most awesome project I have seen this year so far.

The back panel is made of fiberboard from Home Depot. The Wi-Fi antenna is shown on the left. The LAN ports and buttons of the router are accessible through cutouts in the back panel. A 6-pin mini-DIN power jack that matches the power supply I’m using and the power switch are shown on the right. Four screws hold the back panel onto the box, so it’s easy to remove.
