Leo Laporte gets his Ham Licence - First Contact!

Leo Laporte - W6TWT

Some of you may Recognize Leo from his TV and Radio shows and later on his various internet programs. I first saw Leo on TV back in the Tech TV days and have followed him on his later programs as time allowed. I always had a feeling that he was either an amateur radio operator or was some how connected to the hobby. Congratulations on getting your license Leo!

HAM Nation is the new TWIT show about ham radio. Bob Heil, with various co-hosts and guests will cover the excitement and importance of ham radio - from tossing an antenna wire in a tree allowing you to talk to the world, to the importance of ham radio operators in time of disasters. HAM Nation airs live each Tuesday at 6:00 PT/ 9:00ET on http://live.twit.tv.

What is Amateur radio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.

Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications with each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary, while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.

The term "amateur" is not a reflection on the skills of the participants, which are often quite advanced; rather, "amateur" indicates that amateur radio communications are not allowed to be made for commercial or money-making purposes.
