Notice our 3 towers for the Ham Radio hobby. In 2009/2010 Ham Radio
Station K9UWA
has been upgraded and now includes Remote Operation of the station.
Yes I can set in
sunny warm Florida during the winter and operate my home Ham Station

Radio Related What do I do these days with
Amateur Radio? Well I am a "Dedicated 160 meter DX chaser" so then
one might ask.. wazza that mean? Consider an AM radio station.
A nice big one like 1190 WOWO at 50,000 watts daytime and 10,000 at nite.
Now put that same station with all those nice
tall towers someplace in Europe or Japan perhaps. What are the odds that
you with your radio are going to hear that 10,000 watt station
from Japan to Indiana? The 160 meter Ham Band is 1800 to 2000 Khz
so it has the identical propagation properties as the upper end
of the AM radio band that today extends up to 1710 Khz.
So now we are going to UP the
ODDS a bit. Instead of the 10,000 watt or 50,000 watt commercial radio
station we are going to make it some Ham guys Home Station
with 1500 watts of power and towers and antennas that this Ham Radio type
can build and maintain in his own backyard. Next that
Ham Radio guy isn't just listening to that station in Japan or some other
rare distant place. He is actually making a two way contact
with that station. Usually this is done in Morse Code as it has a little
better chance of getting that distance than a SSB Phone
signal would have. These are the odds that 160 meter DX Chasers are up
against. The little clickable link next in line is to the "World
Wide Scoreboard" of those of us that are 160 meter DX Chasers. It shows
the number of countries that each of us have racked up over
in many cases.... many many years to get to these scores. John k9uwa
To borrow a Quote from Garry NI6T
"160
not a band but an obsession" Garry is correct. One has to be totally obsessed to even think about
serious operation on the 160 meter Ham Band.
