Ever wondered what it would be like to talk to an astronaut aboard the International Space Station, setup your home with an emergency communications station, or send and receive email over the airwaves without a local Internet connection? Find out about the many aspects of amateur radio, better known as ham radio, during a Ham Radio Meet ‘N Greet at the Henry D. Moore Library in Steuben on Monday, December 16 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM.
Find out how to earn an FCC amateur radio license, when a ham radio class is scheduled, watch a short presentation on the highlights of ham radio, and chat with experienced hams about this amazing and fun hobby and public service.
There is no age limit for earning an amateur radio license. People aged 6 to 96 have earned their “tickets” and met people on the air across the globe using many fun modes of operation, including voice, digital, and old but reliable Morse code. Come to the Meet ‘N Greet and learn all about it!
