Amateur radio videos: amateur radio in Montana, dealing with noise, update on the IARU R1’s future of #hamradio program

January 17, 2023 By Dan KB6NU 2 Comments

Ham Radio in Montana

This documentary has been praised by many in the amateur radio community. Here’s how Montana PBS describes the film:

Join us as we investigate the culture of Montana Amateur Radio Operators, or “hams”, as they recount their admiration for the global Amateur Radio community.  This niche hobby has produced long-lasting friendships between radio enthusiasts around the globe, and has been a pastime of choice for much of their lives.  Produced as part of a new Certificate in Documentary Film program, by students in the School of Journalism and the School of Visual & Media Arts at the University of Montana, this short film takes an in-depth look at the particular ways in which amateur radio enthusiasts remain active both locally and globally.


Dealing with Noise

A presentation by Ian, VK3BUF. He shows you how to deal with noise at your station.


IARU Region 1 programme “Shaping the Future”

This is an update to the IARU Region 1 program, “Shaping the Future.” This is a short video, and worth watching if you’re interested in the future of our hobby.
