Amateur radio is a wonderful passion of mine. Apart from a hobby, these radio operators come handy in situations of emergencies like natural calamities when the conventional communication is disrupted. Contacting a station far off with out the help of any other network is the interesting thing in this hobby.
For setting up a radio station and operating a person require licence called amateur radio operator licence. This is issued by the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC), Ministry of Communication, Government of India.
The examination is simple. You need to know basic electronics and radio theory. Morse code is optional. Morse code is communication using dot and dash. After clearing the exam the person can apply to WPC for the licence. Every operator will be identified by an unique call sign, for example, mine is VU3BUN.
Shall write more about it in coming days.
Bye for now.
