I think a large part of the magic of ham radio is the phenomena of radio transmission: line of sight, groundwave, ionospheric bouncing or space transmission. Hamming on the Internet (Echolink, Hamsphere etc) is very cool too! 73, Ned w4ned

63 years ago today (12 Dec 1961) on a Thor Agena rocket, OSCAR 1 launched into orbit. This marked the first amateur-led satellite to orbit, giving ham radio its first taste of amateur radio satellites. #amsat #oscar1 #projectOSCAR
