Starting in the wonderful hobby of Amateur or HAM Radio can be daunting and challenging but can be very rewarding. Every week I look at a different aspect of the hobby, how you might fit in and get the very best from the 1000 hobbies that Amateur Radio represents. Note that this podcast started in 2011 as "What use is an F-call?".

You mention going back to the beginning. I can’t as it seems to only start at 2015. I am really enjoying these short little overs, but I am a total newbie so would like to hear the beginning!
Excellent insights in the amature radio community
I had found this series sitting among the bigger Amateur Radio podcasts and I didn’t know what would be covered here in less than 5 minutes per episode. The bite sized episodes helped to put a perspective to this new hobby and as a recently licensed operator, I’m able to connect to all the points mentioned in this series. Thank you Onno. 73s, Sandip EI7IJB.
Spot on, not small talking for hours on topics. Short and concise
I’ve been a radio Amateur for over 50 years. I find this podcast to be informative and entertaining. Both the subject matter and method of presentation should appeal to new hams and many many veterans. I give this podcast 2 thumbs up.
