New to Ham Radio?

If you are interested or new to Ham Radio you should Join a local Ham radio club! 
Once you're involved in a local club:
Each year in June there is ARRL Field Day. Clubs host this great weekend-long event as a contest to hone Ham's skills, and as an introduction for the community and new operators to Ham Radio.
A lot of other hobbies "Mix" well with Ham radio.

I do the soundboard for my church, and as Bob Heil from "Ham Nation'", knows this can have lots of crossover opportunities.  On one "Ham Nation" episode he demonstrated how to attach a mixer to help your sound on your radio.  Many hobbies and extraculcular activities crossover well with Ham radio.  You can see "Ham Nation" here:  http://twit.tv/show/ham-nation/

It often helps to find a ham radio store and hang out there to find out more about the hobby.  When my hubby and I went on vacation We visited the Ham Radio Outlet in Anaheim, and talked with this ultra helpful Salesman.  We learned a lot!
 
Ham radio is a great hobby!

We try to enthusiastically share our love for amateur radio year round!
