Ham Radio – Licensed to Experiment by Dan Norte | HRV @ DEF CON 34

The most common question we hear in the village is, “What can I do now that I’m licensed?” N0OPS and W0BDP attempt the guide new hams into incorporating ham radio into their current hobbies or pursuing new interests.

N0OPS and W0BDP will walk the audience through the diversity of ham radio operations such as portable activations such as POTA/SOTA, satellite contacts, digital weak-signal modes, direction-finding competitions, emergency communications, and drone telemetry.

The takeaway: no matter how long you’ve held a call sign whether it’s 5-minutes or 5 years, there’s almost certainly a corner of this hobby you haven’t touched yet. This speech is an invitation to go find it.
