Default For the newbie, a FAQ, "What is _REAL_ Ham Radio?"

Unfortunately, NO ONE builds Wimhurst Machines as a prelude
to becoming a ham these days. Maybe 80 years ago, but times
change. So does technology. Times change, hobbies change.

Well, maybe not a "prelude" but one of our local M3s (now an M0 one, of the
many that have moved through the system) built a Wimshurst Machine and some
other such beasts.
