New for September 2007!
And more content coming soon!
Microwaves101 has a lot of visits
from radio enthusiasts. So it's time we welcomed them with their
own page on amateur radio! If any Ham has content that they'd like
us to post, drop
us a line and we'll help you out. We've already had an offer
from Tony, we'll post his stuff when we get it!

Here's the Wikipedia
story of how the word "ham" came to refer to
amateur radio.
Here's a link to web
site of the Amateur Radio Relay League, a.k.a. the National
Association for Amateur Radio.
Go to our book
section and order a copy of the ARRL Handbook from Amazon.
You can get used copy for just a few bucks, we did and we
like it!

History of amateur radio
Radio, when you think about it,
was invented by amateurs. It took years before big companies such
as General Electric, RCA and AT&T screwed it all up by commercializing
it. You can learn about some of the pioneers of radio in our Microwave
Hall of Fame.
Here's a public domain image
of Hiram Percy Maxim, who founded ARRL in 1914. ARRL now boasts
about 105,000 members.
If anyone wants to collaborate
on an ARRL project, maybe we can help facilitate that. Example:
how about a printed circuit board for a 24 GHz radio?
