Ham Radio: Frequencies
built 178 days ago
A major part of Ham Radio is scanning different frequencies, and one of the most popular kinds of Ham Radio textfiles are lists of interesting frequencies to try. They range from the mundane (allocations of different bands) to very specific in use by police, fire departments, amusement parks, etc. If you have a ham radio, it must be very interesting indeed.

If you're interested in hobby radio at all, ham radio is the ultimate trip: the chance to operate your own radio station. Want to communicate around the world on shortwave? Want to use VHF and UHF frequencies like you can hear on a scanner? Want to operate your own television station? The ultimate model radio control system? Want to experiment with packet radio----an on-the-air version of the Internet---or "go retro" with Morse code?

As Lister is trolling around the higher frequencies on one of the ships radios, she happens upon a ham named Mike in Calgary, who is leading lively on-air discussion of Albertas centennial anniversary of becoming a Canadian province. Lister politely enters the fray with the W6RO call sign and, sure enough, gets the comeback.
