Hi All,

Just a quick question. Do we have any Ham (Amateur Radio) operators here who also trade the markets?

Let me know,

Hi youri,

I am in the middle of reactivating my licence... getting back in to this after 10 years.

What radios did you use youri?

I used to have the Yeasu FT101ZD HF transciever (valve type), used to be a very good radio.

Very good hobby Simon I used to be a VK4--- in the 80s 90s, active in 2m,20m and 40m, and packet radio than we had the internet…
The solar cycle seems to be low at the moment I thought it would be higher by now, you may have to wait a bit more to have a good propagation.

Some believe there is a correlation between the solar activity and the market, something to look at I guess!

HI,

You guys piqued my interest. Question, with the internet and all it's chats and such, is ham still very popular? Or is it declining in popularity? Or is that a silly question because it's altogether different? I used to have some interest in it decades ago but other than reading about it never got started. I may look into it again.

Thanks

Contacting someone on the over side of the earth using different paths and frequencies was something magic; the easy internet communication has killed that feeling. But I don’t think Amateur Radio is less popular, you’ll always have the challenge to build, experiment on transceivers, antennas.Etc...
Imagination has no limit in that field, I remember flying a kite to launch a long wire antenna, actually you’ll find more Pros than Amateurs, the ingenuity found in that group is phenomenal, and the friendship is something you won’t regret if you decide to join the family.

The subject is so vast; I don’t know where to start. See the link; in the left column you’ll find a variety of disciplines you can engage in, it is endless.

Hi Trenup and All,

I have reactivated my callsign today VK2SIM, going to buy a 6m/2m/70cm Yeasu VX-8DR in the next few weeks or days. I totally agree with the HF side of things. But that is OK.

I am getting into this because I want to use the frequencies for this. Have a look at the video.
