FCC to lift symbol rate limitations
This is a topic that’s been in the news lately. The FCC is planning to remove the baud rate limitation on digital transmissions and replace it with a 2.8 kHz bandwidth limitation. This video goes into quite some detail on this.
K5ATA’s vision for the role of ham radio in STEM education
Steve, K5ATA, ARRL Education and Learning Manager, gave the keynote speech at the 2023 ARRL Pacific Division Ham Radio Convention Pacificon. I love the vision. The question now is how to turn that vision into reality.
POTA activation rain gutter
Mr MUD, VA5MUD, forgot to bring an antenna to one of his latest POTA activations. That didn’t stop him, though. As he shows in this video, he simply clips a wire to a nearby rain gutter.
You’re right. The presentation by Steve K5ATA was wonderful! I’ll send that link to all of the guys who are working on getting ham radio activities into local schools. Steve begins by asking was is “inspiration.” His talk is inspiration! Thanks again.
Thanks, Dan. You are correct, the real challenge is now to turn vision into action. We are making great strides in that direction. We are increasing the number of our Teachers Institutes to 7 next year, up from 3 when I took this position. I could fill many more sessions with people, if I had the means to run them. Like I say, it takes all of us to make it happen… the key is people stepping up and realizing that this is not a SHOULD do… but a MUST do… regardless of how you choose to help achieve the vision.
