I'm a railfan, and run a Trains Net on the Amateur Radio Mode of
D-Star every Friday at 8pm Eastern Time. We discuss anything and
everything related to trains and railroading...and have a railroad
trivia question. The net meets on the QuadNet Array (www.openquad.net).
Once licensed amateur radio operators check into the net for the first
time, they are eligible for a commemorative certificate in PDF format.
To become a ham radio operator, in the U.S. and its territories, one
just needs to study and pass the Technician Class License Exam. Morse
Code knowledge is no longer required to obtain an amateur radio license.
The exam is 35 questions, multiple choice, drawn from a pool of over
400 questions...covering rules, regulations, propagation, RF safety, and
basic electronic theory.
My late uncle, was the only other ham radio operator in the family,
and he was the youngest engineer hired on by the Penn Central Railroad.
So, he gave me my love of ham radio and trains.
