Code practice on W1AW. You'll need SSB to hear it, and to hear most
other amateur transmissions. Listen. Copy. Pass the test.

Thanks for this! I'll check it out tonight while my wife escapes me and the
kiddo for a while.

Hey, all...

I'm a moderate shortwave enthusiast (in that my time and budget don't allow
me to go hogwild and buy/build all the cool toys I want), and I'm curious
about amateur/ham radio. Where's the best place to maybe listen in and hear
what's up? I've got a YB 400 PE with a randomwire antenna, and I'm in the
Northeast.

3.9475 lsb, 3.860 lsb, 3.840 lsb (Art Bell hangs out there) and lots
in between evenings. 73's.

Once you've followed the advice about hearing the transmissions, you can
expect to be quickly bored with it. There's nothing there worth listening
to. I guess it might be of more interest if a nuclear war broke out or
something.

Apologies if this question is remarkably noobish.

You can try monitoring some of the ham nets on the air. A list can be found at

in the Northeast there are lots of hams on AM, check them out evenings from
3870 khz to 3890 khz.

For the best enterainment, listen to the frequencies around 3950 USB or LSB.
It's kinda like listening to a bunch of old WWII veterans sitting around the
back porch bitching about what is wrong with the country.
