My goal is to inspire ham radio operators to try something new or try diffe= rent approaches to enhance their ham radio experience. In the past year, we=E2=80=99ve covered topics including how to use your ha= ndheld transceiver, a deep dive into APRS, how to send and receive SSTV ima= ges, and how to use your ham radio privileges to keep in contact with famil= y and loved ones outside of a disaster area where you may be at that moment. =C2=A0 On the Air Live airs on the ARRL Learning Center website, learn.arrl.org, o= n the fourth Tuesday of each month at 8 PM Eastern. What makes On the Air L= ive different from other live streams and podcasts is our sessions are comp= letely interactive.

The sessions are free, but pre-registration is required.
