Foundations of Amateur Radio

Starting in the wonderful hobby of Amateur or HAM Radio can be daunting and challenging but can be very rewarding. Every week I look at a different aspect of the hobby, how you might fit in and get the very best from the 1000 hobbies that Amateur Radio represents. Note that this podcast started in 2011 as "What use is an F-call?".

Wonderful podcast

I’ve been a radio Amateur for over 50 years. I find this podcast to be informative and entertaining. Both the subject matter and method of presentation should appeal to new hams and many many veterans. I give this podcast 2 thumbs up. KK4RR

Informative and to the point

I like that the episodes aren’t full of extraneous talking, nonsense and opinion. Each episode has a topic and it stays focused.

My favorite Ham podcast.

Bite sized nuggets of wisdom regarding this hobby. Onno makes even the most difficult concepts of amateur radio accessible to a newbie like me. I subscribe to 5 Ham podcasts- but this has helped me the most.

Great Information and Comfortable Style

Onno does a great job of boiling down his topics into nice-sized presentations. In a few minutes, he provides basic information and gives the listener a foundation for further research and experimentation. Onno's style is very smooth and comfortable, making this podcast enjoyable and informative.
