Re: [IRCA] Sort of On-Topic radio announcement...
Congratulations Colin,
It's always helpful have a ham license, even if you don't plan to make
any 2-way contacts. You can learn a lot of antenna theory and propagation
concepts from ham radio, some of which apply directly to AM-DXing. There are
also opportunities to practice foreign languages, and make friends worldwide
(all of which I've enjoyed).
Medium-wave DXing (especially Ultralight DXing) is a different kind of
thrill, however. Although I've had the highest U.S. ham license since 1982,
the recent Ultralight Radio boom and related technical experimentation have
been fascinating indeed, making many hams completely content to stay on the AM
band.
73, Gary .
