W8MI! Whiskey right Mexico India… Dennis, do you read me?

程度の副詞

Can I just, like, text you next time? This is weird...

Sciencemen Trace here hamming it up for DNews.

Remember that time Eleven needed to talk to Will in the upside-down?

The kids were excited because they got to use a ham radio.

Ham radio is an amateur radio broadcasting system -- people who operate ham radios are

There are nearly three million ham licenses worldwide: with major populations of hams

in Japan, Germany, England, Indonesia, South Korea.

According to the National Association for Amateur Radio, there are more than 727,000

licensed ham radio operators (called hams) in the U.S. -- making us the second largest

I say community, because that's what amature operators says it's all about.

Ham radios are exactly like any other radio, but instead of your local rock, country, or

Beyonce station playing nothing but the hits, nothing but the hits…

Instead, it's Jenny from the block, Sloan from Canada, or Siso from Swaziland; right

Aside from the fun community aspect, in times of disaster, when cell towers and internet

are down, hams can still communicate with each other and emergency services.

All radio works the same, even ham radio.

When electricity travels through an antenna of some kind, another antenna can pick it

Tune a radio to a static AM station, grab a nine volt battery and a coin, hold them

near the antenna and connect the studs with the coin.

The electricity is "broadcasting" radio5.

The battery will only go a few inches, but with more power, the signal can go farther.

Thanks to advances in technology, we can pinpoint exact frequencies to broadcast on, where the

radio waves are precisely tuned so they don't interfere with each other.

According to HowStuffWorks, ham bands are "above the AM radio band (1.6 MHz) to just

above the citizens band (27 MHz) (also known as CB radio!)"

And on those ham bands, the FCC says people can send 1,300 different types of communication

using voice, video, digital, telegraphy (morse code!)... you name it -- it's all shared space,

So if someone else is using that frequency, it becomes a party line.

There are three main Ham radio bands: HF, VHF, and UHF.

With UHF or "ultra high frequency" the waves leave the antenna and bounce off buildings

and around solid things, but can't go2 around mountains.

VHF "very high frequency" waves can pass around some obstacles, but can still be blocked.

These are mainly "line of sight" antennas.

Which is why it doesn't work over the curve of the Earth or behind a mountain.

HF "high frequency" waves are my favorite in this scenario…

Because, starting about 50 kilometers above you is the ionosphere -- an electrically charged

Ham radios using the HF range can bounce their waves off the ionosphere, creating a Sky Wave.

That wave "skips" to another point on the Earth… or hits another antenna -- which

All ham signals can be rebroadcast… someone can pick it up, and send it out again.

But Swaziland isn't the furthest radio can reach.

In 1969, an operator in Louisville, Kentucky picked up radio between Armstrong and Aldrin

He even recorded President Nixon's message to them!

You can still talk to astronauts with amature radio today.

The ionosphere doesn't bounce all signals!

On the International Space Station, the crew has access to a ham radio.

When they're overhead, their 2-meter FM transceiver allows the ground can have a chat with space.

You can see for yourself that the astronauts are overhead, talk to them while they're there,

If you're fascinated by how far afield ham radios can reach, the new CW show, Frequency

In the show, a female police detective in 2016 discovers she can reach her estranged

father over the airwaves of her ham radio.

Don’t miss the Series Premiere of Frequency, Wednesday October 5th, at 9/8c only on The

It's pretty amazing that we can do all this with waves of electromagnetic energy.

The more you think about it, the cooler it gets.
