But! \u00a0There is a lot more that you likely haven\u2019t heard much about.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Amateur radio operators have always been on the leading edge of technology, and that is still true in today\u2019s high-tech world. \u00a0Amateur radio operators worldwide continue to break new ground in the art &amp; science of radio communications. \u00a0From local 2-way radio voice communications, to communications through satellites, \u00a0or communicating worldwide using any of a dozen different digital modes , ham radio has something for everyone. \u00a0(How about bouncing a radio signal off the moon?)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s not always about the technology. \u00a0Amateur radio operators all over the world regularly volunteer to provide communications for special events like marathons, bike races, parades and other public service events.<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/w6sg.net\/site\/calendar\/\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a> to find out when and where club meetings and other activities are taking place.
