A Ham Radio Comes In Handy During Emergencies

When things happen such as earthquakes or staying in contact with and find people who are lost at sea, ham radios can come in handy!

Here is a link to an article that talks about one's man participation in ham radio. For him, he started it out as a hobby by just listening to the ham radio broadcasts and then it became much more to him. (He has even worked in conjunction with the police!)

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"A few nights ago, George Scott was in his bathroom getting ready for bed when he felt one of the earthquakes that shook Yuma recently. He quickly got on his ham radio and found that three of his fellow operators were already on the frequency talking about it. "

Aether?

What is Aether?

Aether a new application designed to log ham radio sessions. Take a look at the screenshot below:



Aether provides tools to quickly and easily log contacts while on the air, as well as organize, search and track contacts after the fact. Features include instant search, automatic callbook lookup, serial rig control, cocoaModem integration and more. Aether is available for $40 and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher.

*Unfortunately Aether requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher. But if you have this Mac Operating system then this program is available for around $40.

Ham Radio Club Celebrates!

The Tacoma Radio Club is celebrating its 100th anniversary!

The club currently has about 300 members.

Here is an excerpt from an online article:

"RCT members, young and old, hail from all over the South Sound. And when your 400 googleherz of megaram fails and the Y2K bug finally burrows in and shorts out “the grid,” it’ll be these amateur radio operators who’ll keep the information flowing and help get things back online."

The Radio Club of Tacoma's clubhouse looks like any other home in the 1200 block of South Washington Street – except for the giant antenna that looms over the entire neighborhood. The clubhouse is home to a library of vintage radio operating manuals and a museum of antique radios as well as some of the club’s current broadcasting equipment. And it’s open to the public for a few hours every Saturday.

One thing that is interesting to note is that while knowing the morse code is no longer a requirement, a lot of the club members still practice it.
