There are so many facets/angles to Amateur Radio...
- Just chat away to people around the world
- Communicate/exchange messages from your PC via Radio & Digital Modes, what I'm setting up at the moment
- Broadcast TV Pictures inc HD
- Communicate via Amateur satellites
- People who launch balloons with radio transponders
- Radio Foxhunts, orienteering looking for hidden beacons
- Just building stuff
There's something for everyone... You might get to speak to somebody on the ISS
