New Ham Heading

What can you do with your Ham Radio License?
•    Communicate through satellites, including talking directly with the astronauts on the International Space Station
•    Conduct computer-to-computer Live Chat conversations with other hams – with no wires, no cellphones, no wifi, and no
        Internet between you.

•    Provide Health and Safety radio communications for local community events like Peaks-to-Prairie, Montana Marathon, and
         several others

•    Provide emergency radio communications in times of disaster to help your family and neighbors. Plus, if you are currently a student:
•    Volunteer Activities look very good on college applications (required for many schools and scholarships)
•    Obtaining an FCC Ham Radio License looks really good on a job application
•    The activities and technology of Ham Radio can lead to a career in electronics or communications
