| Welcome to the new web site
of WD4LYV, for south Georgia Amateur Radio. This site is being built and maintained by Wayne Harrell -
WD4LYV. Wayne is rebuilding a web page dedicated to Amateur Radio, after
the pages were offline for several years now. Learn more about WD4LYV
and his radio interest. The previous pages were
for the Coastal Plains Amateur Club. This web site will have information
about the Amateur Radio hobby in South Georgia. I will be working with
webmasters of the Amateur Radio Clubs across South Georgia. I am also
webmaster for the Coastal Plains ARC. I would appreciate your comments
about this new web page.
South Georgia Amateur Radio is growing. We have a number of amateur radio clubs that meet monthly to help anyone interested in the Amateur Radio hobby. Anyone interested in learning more about the amateur radio hobby may contact us. |

There are predictions
that this solar cycle will be very good. The bad news is the cycle will
not start to peak until the end of 2007 or early 2008. We hope it will
start peaking earlier, but I no scientist. Even though sunspot numbers have been down to zero, there has still been some good hf activity, with many getting new countries for their dxcc award. With dxpeditions and contest we will be able to stay busy and make lots of new contacts. |
Georgia Amateur Radio operator WD4LYV was recently appointed as a VHF and HF Awards Manager with ARRL. I am also an AMSAT volunteer in south Georgia to help Georgia Amateur Radio operators learn to operate the Amateur Satellites.
HOW TO BE A AMATEUR RADIO OPERATOR
The first step to being an Amateur Radio Operator is have an interest in electronics and communications. If you are hear reading the information on these Amateur Radio pages you must certainly be interested.
There is good news, the morse code or CW is no longer required for the entry level Amateur Radio License. The Technician Class requires only that you pass a 35 multiple-choice question written exam.
You may contact WD4LYV for help in contacting Amateur Radio Operators in your area to help answer your questions locally and visit a local Amateur Radio Club.
