 This picture was taken at one of the ham clubs in Eastern Massachusetts at an event we have in June each summer, setting up at the seashore, or in a park with "emergency" equipment and talking to as many other groups in the US and Canada as possible over a 24 hour period of time. There are many other events like it during the year where you can be "radio-active." You can use your hand-held radio and talk to friends in the nearby vicinity. You can also use other equipment to talk with hams world-wide with voice and digital communication. The FCC licenses hams in the USA so we can use our equipment on the air. We can help you with that and get you licensed. Click HERE to see a short 6 minute video done in the UK about Amateur Radio. Watch it full-screen. After the YouTube video, return back here for more. Would you like to talk with someone locally? email me: gary@w4gal.com. Then we can chat. Teens and Pre-teens, have a look HERE.
