Armstrong and Marconi.
HAMs use transceivers (transmitter & receivers) to communicate with one another
throughout the world. It's a wonderful media to make friends worldwide and exchange ideas,
views, explore different cultures and lifestyle of each other.
It's a great tool to bring the whole world in to your station, in
to your room. If you are a HAM, you will never fill alone. Some body, some where, is
always there to give you a company. It gives a good opportunity to explore the unknowns.
How fascinating it's, when you come to know that you are talking to someone in minus 30
degrees, while you are enjoying your hot summer at 42 degrees ! !
HAMs are all from different walks of life. One may find a Doctor discussing an electronic
circuit with an Electronic Engineer or an Engineer, discussing the medicine with a Doctor.
It's just a platform to discuss anything and anytime, about yourself and your friend.
