Can I have a ham radio antenna in Las Cruces NM?
You may have a Ham radio antenna anywhere in the US, unless there are restrictions as to its placement, such as in a condo or apartment. If you meant a Ham radio transmitter, then you must have a Ham license to operate it.
What does impedance in ham radio mean?
Impedance is not unique to ham radio and applies to all electronics. Impedance is a property of electrical circuits that can impede the current from flowing.
What is the primary function of a ham radio?
The primary function of ham radio is to provide amateur radio personalities and opportunity to showcase their effervescent characteristics. Apparently, specific equipment is needed to produce quality sound and to prevent feedback.
What is meant by Barefoot in Ham radio usage?
Without an amplifier.
Do ham radio's need satillites to communicate?
No. The day before the first artificial satellite was launched in 1957, there were about 400,000 'ham' radio operators worldwide, licensed and actively enjoying the hobby.

Bad ham radio. Bad !
Where can one purchase a Ham radio antenna?
The official Ham website allows people to search for Ham products. From there, you can select and purchase the chosen model. By searching the word "Antenna" on the website search bar will allow you to see all of their Ham radio antennas available.
Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
What has the author Paul Danzer written?
Paul Danzer has written: 'Your ham antenna companion' -- subject(s): Antennas, Amateurs' manuals, Shortwave radio 'Geburtenkrieg' -- subject(s): Population '1999 The Arrl Handbook for Radio Amateurs (Arrl Handbook for Radio Amateurs)'
Where can you find information on a Gottingen heart antenna?
There was an construction article in the May 1990 issue of Ham Radio Magazine written by Walter J. Schulz, K3OQF. I built one for UHF TV and it worked well. There are DVDs with all issues of Ham Radio from1968 to 1990 available on ebay and possibly on bit torrent.
What items do you need to use the ham radio?
#2). antenna #3). receiver #4). transmitter #5). logging capability (notebook or computer) and if you intend to do any transmitting, then #1). a license
Origin of the word ham in ham radio?
Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training. But we still don't know the origin of the word HAM.
What is the full form of ham radio?
HAM stands for Help All Mankind .answer 2 Nice try, but no cigar!Ham is a derivative of amateur, in the same sense as on the stage.Amateur Radio.
What equipment used in ham radio system?
Every ham radio station comprises, at an absolute minimum: -- One (1) radio transmitter. -- One (1) radio receiver. -- One (1) antenna. -- One (1) source of electrical power. -- One (1) licensed operator, either in attendance or responsible for the station's remote operation. Any individual station may be enhanced, modified, embellished, or enlarged, in virtually unlimited ways, from this absolute minimum list.

How many watts of power does it take to talk to Japan from California on ham radio?
Depends on many factors. What frequency are you talking on, what are the atmospheric conditions like, how good is your antenna, are you sending code or trying to talk voice, how good is the other ham's receiver, etc. I can tell you that when I first received my license in the mail, my first contact on ham radio was with a ham in Arizona. I was in San Luis Obispo, CA. He was running 1/4 watt of power, using Morse Code (or, CW, as we call it, for Continuous Wave). There are hams that have talked with countries all over the world using less than 5000 watts of power. This question cannot be answered with a simple number - there are way too many variables involved. Here are some false ideas to take into consideration: The more sensitive the receiver is, the less sensitive the transmitter must be to transmit a signal. The opposite is also true. The lower the frequency, the farther the signal can travel due to the wavelength. Lower frequencies tend to be less stable than higher frequencies. Higher frequencies cannot transmit as far. Answer: Everything above is true but I would like to add that my stupid idea is that the antenna used for communication is the single most important part of a ham radio station. A poor antenna will waste power in itself instead of radiating it. (The polo something..... don't remember) is important. A gain antenna which is directional "like the ones you see on most ham radio towers" both transmits and receives "hears" in only the direction it is pointed greatly enhancing signal strength. If you have a thousand dollars to spend and you could buy a linear amplifier or a good antenna, buy a good antenna. You won't regret it. I have been non technical in my answer but there are tons of pages on antennas on the net as it is one of the most complicated subjects there is. Let me expand on the top answer. The QRP group would insist that you can communicate all around the world on miliwatts. This is true, but not practical unless QRP (low power) is what you wish to do. The most common max power on a new radio is 100 watts, although some of the more expensive radios could have more. With the stock 100 watt radio, depending on atmospheric conditions, your antenna type, and the height of your antenna, you could talk to most all countries, but not on demand. What I mean by demand is that you can't control when you will make each contact, but each day, or night, you may contact some part of the world. Learning is what Amateur radio is all about. I suggest that you find your local radio club and go to one of their meetings. Once you introduce yourself, and express a desire to learn more, most hams will want to help you get started. Let me add that Atmospheric conditions are always changing, and we have some very good years for propagation, and some are pretty bad. We are coming down from one of the best years for radio wave propagation, and it will continue until propagation gets poor. That will take a few years ,and will be a slow process. As already stated, the antenna is 75% of a great station, with the radio being the other 25% It is true that you can use a linear amplifier to put out maximum allowed power, but putting that power into a poor antenna will be a big waste of time and money. The poor antenna will yield very poor reception, and even though the linear amplifiers will amplify reception as well as transmission, it can only amplify what it can hear. Very poor antennas can hear very little compared to the ideal antenna. If this all sounds like Greek to you, it is more the reason to join your local Amateur radio club and become well educated in radio use, antenna design, radio operation rules, and meet a lot of great people with the same interest. If we ever have a world war and it renders our normal communication methods useless, it will be radio Amateurs who will save the day with ingenuity that is MacGyver-ish in nature. An opinion added by another contributor: I strongly second the motion and support the statement that the antenna is the most important part of the ham radio station, and if I could give it 18 more votes then I would do that too. The reason it may sound like a stupid idea is because it's such a simple statement of such profound wisdom. Are you trying to tell me that a bunch of wire or metal rods or pipes has more effect on successful communication than a big hot linear amp that goes for 5000 bucks has ? ! ? Absolutely. - - - - - Five thousand watts? Legal power on the amateur bands IF you have an Extra-class license is only 1500. If you're working Morse you can communicate with Japan on 5 watts or less if you have the right antenna and good atmospherics. It's been done with less than 1 watt and a good directional antenna with director and reflector elements. Voice you'll need more power, but 100 watts and a directional antenna will talk to anywhere in the world.
