/////////////////////////////////////////// Youngsters Learn About Radio Communication During Special Event: Posted: 29 Nov 2016 04:12 PM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38118 More than 75 people stopped by to visit The Villages Amateur Radio Club's Radio on the Square event Saturday at Lake Sumter Landing Market Square. The weather was great and the club got just what they wanted, families with visiting grandchildren. One of those visiting grandchildren, 10-year-old Joshua B. York up from Miami was seeing Morse code communication for the first time. "People ask me, 'Are you still doing that?' People are doing it now more than ever," said Brown. There are more than 700,000 amateur radio operators currently in the United States. Brown says that people mistakenly think computers have made amateur radio obsolete. "Computers are used to enhance it." The club holds three events a year to demonstrate amateur radio in action. Club members are on hand to talk to interested folks about the required FCC test and licensing. /////////////////////////////////////////// Villages Amateur Radio Club Offers 'Radio on the Square' on Saturday: Posted: 29 Nov 2016 04:09 PM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38117 The Villages Amateur Radio Club will conduct its annual "Radio on the Square" event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26 at Lake Sumter Landing Market Square.

It's a great rabbit hole. /////////////////////////////////////////// Ham Talk Live #41 -- Key Collector WJ1B: Posted: 29 Nov 2016 09:52 AM PST http://www.eham.net/articles/38115 Tune in to hamtalklive.com Thursday night at 9 PM Eastern time when Harold Kramer, WJ1B, recently retired COO of ARRL and Morse code key collector will be here to take your questions!
