This is a sample blog post for the W1YU web site.
I’m happy to see Amateur Radio, which has been at Yale nearly 100 years, growing once again on campus.
What is Amateur Radio? some would ask. In the US, there are some 600,000+ persons with F.C.C. licenses who are authorized to communicate around the world on many shortwave, VHF, UHF, and higher frequency bands. References:
- Amateur Radio (wikipedia)
- American Radio Relay League, the National Association for Amateur Radio.
As we say,
73!
