Wednesday January 7th Topic with KC1HHK: Ham Radio Questions
Embedded Files
The “old days" of ham radio (roughly pre-1970s) were defined by pioneering experimentation, homebrewing gear from surplus parts (like WWII gear), communicating via Morse code (CW) on shortwave, and discovering long-distance communication (DX) on "worthless" frequencies, with operators using Q-codes and sending QSL cards like early social media, all before the digital age of computers and cell phones.
1. “What new hams should still be taught from the old days”
2. “If you could bring one old rule or tradition back, what would it be?”
3. “What skill from the old days do you think today’s hams are missing?”
Monday January 5th Topic with KC1SOO: Favorite Landmarks
🌉 Tonight’s Net Topic: Golden Gate Bridge & Your Favorite Landmark
Construction started: January 5, 1933
Around this time in 1933, construction began on the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States. That got me thinking about the landmarks and historic places we’ve all had the chance to visit over the years. Maybe it was something close to home, like the Bunker Hill Monument, or perhaps a landmark farther from New England that left a lasting impression.
Have you traveled to any famous monuments, bridges, or historic sites? Which one was your favorite, and what made it memorable — the history, the setting, or the experience itself? Join us tonight on the 6 PM net and share your landmark travels and favorites.
