Ham Is Where The Heart Is:
Posted: 25 Oct 2012 05:36 PM PDT
http://www.eham.net/articles/29212
Gopal Madhavan is seldom bamboozled by new technology. At a poky little
room that serves as his personal ham radio station, he displays admirable
mastery of Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD), a Windows software that allows a slew of
radio operations to be performed on the computer. Let the tech-savvy
30-somethings out there, who curl their mouths and mutter "Big deal!" know
that Madhavan is 76 years old! While most hams of his generation struggle
to come to grips with the constantly evolving software-defined ham radio
system, Madhavan is on top of it. As a qualified engineer, Madhavan has a
clear advantage. But it is a deep-rooted passion for the hobby that has
provided the impetus to embrace and master new technologies.

Radio Club On the Air in Anoka this Saturday:

The Anoka County Radio Club will commemorate Anoka's long-standing
Halloween celebration Saturday, Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. by
assembling at the Anoka High School parking lot and operating a
long-distance amateur radio station as part of the 2012 Anoka Halloween
Capital of the World festivities. "Since 1956, the Anoka County Radio Club
has participated in many civic activities in the county,and it seemed like
a great idea to get involved in the Anoka Halloween festivities and help
get the word out to other amateur radio operators around the world," said
the radio club's event chairperson, Dana Johnson. Amateur radio operators
(also known as "ham" radio operators) are licensed by the FCC in the United
States, and participate in a wide variety of communications-related
activities from emergency preparedness exercises to civic event
communications support. The Anoka County Radio Club's special event station
at the Halloween festivities will transmit and receive voice contacts with
other amateur radio operators around the world via a 30-plus-foot antenna
tower, tracking names and contact information to send them a postcard after
the event - another favorite past-time of some ham radio operators.
