When All Else Fails…
That’s what ham, radio is all about. Bad weather, disasters both natural and man-made, power outages…. hams are there with working equipment when cell phones, landlines, and other communications services are jammed and overloaded. Hams help local authorities in missing persons searches and event coordination.
So, how can you be a part of it? Or perhaps you’re just interested in meeting new people around the world? Many hams speak with people from around the globe every day, and it never costs them anything more than the investment in the equipment. Or perhaps you and your whole family want to get licensed to have a convenient way to communicate with each other on vacations, going to the shopping mall, or just talking around town. Even kids can obtain their license!
The Brownwood Amateur Radio Club has plenty of members who would be willing to assist you in getting your license and getting on the air. Check out our Testing page for contact information.
