Welcome to the NewHams.info site. Its purpose is to provide training, information and general encouragement to new or prospective amateur radio operators (hams). Sort of a virtual “Elmer”, as we say. Experienced hams should find it interesting and useful as well.
Organized in sort of a blog format, post topics are usually small and simple. You can scroll through the posts sequentially or search for key words or click on a category of interest.
The reader can sign up for email notification of new posts by clicking on the Follow button below Categories on the sidebar.
Topics generally cater to USA hams getting started in amateur radio with local VHF/UHF communications. However, HF band operators and hams in other countries should find something interesting here as well.
You will see US license exam questions and answers in green boxes to refresh your knowledge in various posts.

Hey, Jim, I am thinking SDR and don’t see it in Categories.
Any suggestions on books are a site to learn the craft?

Hi David, SDR is not a category because it’s a more advanced topic. But since it’s growing in popularity and importance I suppose I should post at least an intro to the topic to help define and explain Software Defined Radio. Look for it in the near future; thanks for the suggestion.
Until then a good reference is found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software-defined_radio
