You are about to enter the world of amateur radio, a hobby like no other. Where time stands still only if you fail to move on with it as many have chosen to do as witnessed by the collectables littering the benches of many a radio shack.
Welcome to NØAGX’s World
Hello. I am interested In getting into amateur radio. With my 2 radios I can listen to some of what is around but cannot talk to people. I know I need an FCC licence first. There aren’t many resources for people interested in this hobby on the iron range. I’m not sure if this is the right place to try to contact your organisation but if it is, please contact me to share some resources on getting started operating so I can join the HAM community. Thank you.
My sincere apologizes for the late reply. Not sure how I missed your inquiry but to blame the topsy turvy world of COVID-19. The best advice I can offer is to get in touch with the local Amateur groups either by attending a meeting or visiting the respective group’s Facebook pages for a contact. There are club’s in Ely, Grand Rapids, and Duluth not to mention the one in Virginia (Mt Iron). Classes and testing for your FCC Amateur Radio license are also provided through these groups.
