I also do a bit of Amateur radio, though obvviously, I am not around the space much currently. I would be glad to help in any way, and think that encouraging others to pursue getting licensed is a great idea. HAM has long been a makers hobby.

I do a little Amateur Radio too, Charlie. Including SDR and other aspects and having a capability for radio work in the space sounds like a great addition...

Carter and I were discussing doing more things related to Ham Radio.  Here are a few of the topics we discussed.

1.  Who might be interested in getting their Amateur Radio Licence?  Please respond here.

2.  We discussed adding an SDR (software defined radio) at the space.  This would allow anyone (up to 4 at a time) to connect via web interface and receive radio traffic between 1Mhz and 30Mhz..  This includes everything from Shortwave Broadcast, to Air Traffic, to Amateur Bands..   Since this is Receive only, No license is needed for this.

3.  We discussed organizing a Space event for "Field Day" which would be open to everyone at the space.  (probably off site though)  FD2018 is scheduled for the 4th Weekend in June and it's where Ham's get on the air for 24 hours straight and "see what they can accomplish"  If there is interest, I'd be willing to work the lead to organize this event.

4.  If there is enough interest we discussed a long term goal of a Ham Shack at the space where members can participate in this great hobby.  

If there is interest, please respond here.  If you're not sure, respond saying this and I will put together a small presentation for one of our Tuesday night meetings.

I'm definitely interested. I did a good chunk of studying for the licensing exam several months ago, but with two small kids never got around to actually managing to take it. 

I have one of those cheapy $20 rtl-sdr receivers (~22Mhz - 1.1GHz), which I've played around with a bit.
