Ham radio club explores communications

The University of Tennessee Daily Beacon reports on the activities of
the student amateur radio club

David Icove WA8NQE, professor in electrical engineering and computer
science and faculty advisor to the group describes how he visited the
United Kingdom in 2015 and was inspired by his visit to Bletchley Park
to develop a system comprising software and a computer-controlled
radio which understood Morse code and transmitted and received it.

Mikhail Kravchenko and Adam Rosenbaum, senior in computer engineering,
are relatively new to the club, they already have call signs of their
own — KM40QG and KM4RBR, respectively.

Rosenbaum joined the club after he got his technician’s license and
heard of what the members were working on.

“Before I got involved, I thought ‘Oh talking on the radio. Whatever,
it’s not that big a deal,’ because I had done that before when I was
in the military,” Rosenbaum said. “There’s a lot more things to do
than meets the eye … It’s a lot more involved than just sitting around
scanning bands.”

In addition to national contests and reaching out to find contact,
Rosenbaum mentioned foxhunts — “guys going out with their radios and
trying to find something in the woods.”

As a computer engineer, Rosenbaum is primarily interested in the
different ways of sending digital information through radio, versus
traditional analog waves.
