Amateur Radio Station N7WLC
Amateur radio allows you to contact people across the globe. Ham
radio also provides emergency communications during natural disasters,
search and rescue operations, as well as providing communications
support for civic events, like bike rides and walk-a-thons.
I've been active on:
- 70cm - The Amgen repeater (W6AMG, 449.440-)
- 2m - The Thousand Oaks repeater (146.850-)
- 2m Space - I've worked the Space Shuttle and the Russian space
station Mir
- 10m - A fun HF band, 10-10
number 63782
- 20m - I like working DX stations ("DX" are those stations not in
the US)
- 2400 MHz - An interesting band to experiment with
- APRS - If I'm commuting, you can
find my car. Or if it is
Saturday, you might find me on
my bicycle.
