Thanks to recent news and some great videos leading people into amateur radio by our friends at @fieldcraftsurvival among others. My inbox has been packed with people asking how to get started and what they need to buy to get themselves, friends and families prepared with better radio communication. Tonight we’re going to deep-dive one such email and build upon the communications some of you may have starting out with radio.

The recent rule-change means that under supervision, and making sure the "rules of the road" are followed, you can allow another person, including children to use your radio equipment. Let’s follow Isabella’s story and get inspired to do the same. What do you think? Callum.
https://youtu.be/DdvueID3y2U Full interview with Matt
This is an amazing story. Matt is Isabella’s Dad. He’s a STEM volunteer (sometimes also called STEAM) – this means that Matt has access to training, resources and equipment to deliver short, fun amazing little projects to inspire and educate others. His story is fascinating. Please watch and be inspired too! Callum.
PS – Isabella’s "cameo" appearance will appear shortly..
I was asked on a livestream to talk about the circular polarization of radio waves. Watch to learn more about the confusing and complicated topic of circular polarization, how it effects antennas and gets effected by the ionosphere.
