PACTOR is radio modulation and radio stations in isolated areas to send and receive digital information via radio. A robust network of PACTOR stations has been established to relay data between radio stations and the internet, extending Internet access to sea based and other isolated users.
Yes. International code for Lithuania is LY.
Yes Ham Radio and Amateur Radio are same. Amateur and Ham radio operators use two-way radio stations from their homes, cars, boats and outdoors to make hundreds of friends around town and around the world. They communicate with each other using voice, computers, and Morse code. Some hams bounce their signals off the upper regions of the atmosphere, so they can talk with hams on the other side of the world. Other hams use satellites. Many use hand-held radios that fit in their pockets.
Some amateur radio operators regularly communicate with each other by reflecting their signals off of the moon, so we know that amateur radio communication is possible over distances of at least a half-million miles ... something like 19 times the distance around the earth We don't know how much farther it might work, because there aren't any hams out there to talk to.
With a standard Amateur license, you have no authorization to operate outside of the amateur frequency bands, and if you're using commercial type-accepted ham equipment, it won't operate outside of those bands anyway. Public Safety radio services don't operate in the amateur frequency bands. You can listen to them any time, with a 'scanner' that covers the police bands, but you can't talk to them. If you have a special license and different equipment, or if the local police want to acquire ham equipment to use in emergencies, then that's a different story.
No, it is not dying out. in fact, with the growth of the Internet, it has become accessible to a wider range of people and the opposite is in fact true. it has even become incredibly easy to set up. all you need is radio automation software (Eg. Mixxx), Lame Encoder, and a server. just go to caster beta and you will find all the instructions, and its all free. it is now only costing people as much as the Internet costs to stream it all. In my opinion, Amateur radio is fading because of the Internet, and other forms of communication that do not require a license. The simple truth is that the only fading is with appliance operators, glorified CB users with a license. Those numbers are fading, but not fast enough. The true radio amateur is an operator for life. There is much more to amateur radio than simple talk. Streaming over the Internet is not amateur radio, even though many use it. When conditions warrant, you will see the true amateur radio operators handling emergency communication, supplementing our local government emergency communication's. The internet will not be anywhere in site when that happens.
Not necessarily. Normally, Ham Radio is used to describe amateur, 2 way radio where 2 individuals talk to each other back and forth; on the other hand, shortwave radio generally is used to describe commercial High Frequency radio broadcasting. This band is a commercial service that provides long range (worldwide) audiences for broadcasts but is a 1 way media. Think about a local FM radio show that you could listen to anywhere in the world but you can not talk back to them.
