IAP 2011 Activity


Ham Radio Clue
Karl Ramm, Matt Goldstein
Wed Jan 19, 05:30-07:30pm, 4-270

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: None.

Ever wanted to talk to people in foreign countries without any delay? Does finding a real-life use for your 8.02 skills appeal to you? Do you wish you could coordinate with many friends at the same time at an event? Bouncing your voice off the moon so it can be heard half way around the world sounds like fun? All it takes for a license to do this and more is a short exam which any MIT student should be able to pass without much effort. We'll teach you the extra bits you don't already know and then take you to an official exam session on campus resulting in a license from the FCC. See http://w1mx.mit.edu/ham-exams for a list of what to bring, no registration required.
