Radio – Notes and Addendum
If you would like to experience Amateur Radio “virtually”, there is a system called HamSphere that simulates all the worldwide Amateur Radio Bands right from your computer. There is a FREE Trial version that you can use by creating a free account (with a parent or guardian).
If you need to complete an online contact and log for Requirement 9a2 we can schedule a time where our Instructors will be on a specific frequency on HamSphere at a specific time for you to complete Requirement 9a2. A Parent or Guardian MUST be with you (so we can chat with them too) during this session.
More information about HamSphere scheduling will be presented in our online sessions.
