Interested in learning more about how
radio works, or do you want to know how to get started or more
involved? Countries have different rules and regulations but the
principles are the same.
Radio history
Radio has been around for a long time. Around the
middle of the nineteenth century - we are in the twenty-first now -
the first successful wireless message was sent and received. But it
wasn't until the early 1900's when the first real transmission was
made. From then on there was no stopping it but for more on radio
history the following sites offer complete information.
If you are interested in the history of radio,
whether it is news radio, amateur radio, commercial radio, music
radio, broadcast radio or you are an aficionado of antique radios
there are millions of like-minded people all over the world.
Radio hardware
Whether you are interested in
building a radio for listening to music or to get yourself known on
the airwaves, there are different ways of achieving this.
Radio kits come in two varieties, for
listening purposes and for two way communication purposes. Both can
be connected to a computer or serve as stand alone or mobile
equipment.
You can buy a complete radio set or
you can get a radio card to install in a computer. Both will get you
on the airwaves.
