The Home of ham Books on Restricted Space Antennas
I maintain this web site to achieve a number of goals. First, it is to promote my books on restricted space antennas. My books focus on the challenges hams face in pursuing their recreational activtiy as it relates to antennas and the lack of space to erect these antennas. Second, I maintain this site to inform and educate parties on the issues and topics of relevance to the ham (or amateur) radio operator. I write and publish articles, whitepapers, books and periodicals of relevance to this group and others who might be interested in discovering more about amateur radio.
Why amateur radio you might ask?
Many might wonder why on earth would one pursue amateur
radio as a recreational activity. Some might think there are
other
more exciting hobbies than ham radio. I think not! Ham radio
is about
as axciting as a hobby can be. It includes the chance for travel, the
chance to communicate with folk in all countries of the world,
and at the same time, a chance to contribute in no small way to helping
your community in times of need.
Radio has played an important role in the community over
the years. It was a ham operator (Marconi) who first discovered radio
via his early experiments. Amateur radio has continued that tradition
of self experimentation with radio and related technologies.
It was a ham operator who designed and built the first radio
telescope. But perhaps more important, is the fact that ham radio is a
means of people communicating with people in far away lands.
There are so few human activities today, which seek
communication for its own sake, for its own reward. Perhaps if more
folk spent more time communicating like hams do, the world would be a
much better place. Hams put the fun back in human
to human communication.
