[Lab] Ham radio

[Andrew Plumb]

As it relates to obtaining your license, the "Getting Started" page is here:

http://www.rac.ca/en/amateur-radio/beginner-info/getting-started.php

I've had mine since I was a kid (Call sign VE3SLG, Basic + 12WPM Code; only 5WPM is needed now) but am rarely active these days.

It is handy when you want to do longer-range RC vehicle stuff; see http://www.rac.ca/en/rac/services/bandplans/6m/ in the 50.8 - 50.98 MHz range.

Andrew.
