Hi! My name is
"Elmer". I am a Ham Radio Operator! Click Here to get more information on the study
materials! You will be starting out as a Technician class Ham
Radio Operator and due to recent rule changes, you can now use voice
on a portion of 10 meters! Please, please, include the words "Ham Radio Question" in the subject section of your email so we can identify you as a person interested in ham radio and not another virus infected email!!!! We get lots of them from unknown email addresses! CB radio IS NOT HAM RADIO! Please....NO CB RADIO QUESTIONS...after all this is Ham Radio, not CB we are talking about here! If you are a CB'er, and wanting info about how to get into ham radio....you WILL get answers! Please help us to get you on your way into ham radio with your questions! Again....no CB radio related questions! If you are a licensed Amateur Radio Operator...let us know... put your call sign in the email! It helps us get on your level. Supply us with any or all information we may need to get you an answer. Don't ask questions such as these... "Will my antenna operate on 20 meters also?" What is your antenna? "Will my receiver work on U. S. Frequencies?" What receiver? "Where can I get another microphone?" Got a model and brand? "What is the best antenna for ham radio?" IT DOES NOT EXIST! "What is the best ham radio?" This is a matter of opinion! "I am a new ham, what bands should I operate on? Within your license class! "What is the best kind of tuner for my station?" Again, an opinion! "Why is my SWR high?" I am here and you are there...think about it! "How do I know if the other stations are hearing me?" Ask them! "Why can't I hear the stations other stations can hear?" Propagation? "I am not getting any contacts, can you tell me why?" Give me info! "My antenna is no good, can you tell me of a better one?" Better than what? "Why am I getting so much static, I can't hear anyone?" Mother Nature at her finest? More info please. " I just passed my technician license. However I have never even seen a ham station in operation and don't know what to buy to set up a basic station. What would you suggest?" A basic station to do what?
Please don't ask for our opinion, recommendation, etc for ham radio equipment or antennas....we can only give you suggestions based on the information you give us pertaining to your station setup and your goals for it.....This is strictly your choice and your station! Do your research! Get to know some local hams. Look at reviews! As you can see from the above examples, (these were taken from actual emails we have received)... these questions would be almost impossible to answer without more detail in the emails. Give us details....PLEASE! Please don't make us have to ask....... "What in the world is this person talking about? What does he mean?" It only wastes our time and yours with a multitude of emails. I think you get my point...please don't ask broad ranging questions.... We try very hard, but we are still perfecting the technique of reading between the lines in emails and we flunked courses in mind reading! And please remember....We will help you if at all possible! If we don't know the answer to your question, we will try our best to get you going in the right direction....so get ready, set, go into the world of Ham Radio! Want to get started right away?
