I TALK TO THE WORD WITH MY HAND RADIO
Below is a picture of my radio station connected to the internet. Can be miles away from home and still connect to my radio network FREE. well actually there is a charge some electric and internet. I have just added a second radio to the system gives me 2 bands to play with 2 meters and 70 cm ham band. The controller information is on . k6pkl.com. what is required a FCC amateur radio license and radio. My system is part of a network called echolink and we all have node numbers. Think of it like dialing the telephone. I can call up systems around the world. On Saturday morning connect to NEWSLINE a news service for amateur radio and my network hears it. can even connect to NASA space center for news on space station. Do not own a cell phone and this is more fun talking hours to other hams around the world.
Talk to a ham in England walking his dog in the evening when I am doing it in the morning. Hand held radio to hand held.
