ARLA/CLUSTER: Clube de radioamadores americanos financia parte da distribuição do livro "Ham Radio for Dummies" em escolas e bibliotecas

Ham Radio for Dummies books given to schools and libraries

With the explosive growth in amateur or ham radio, the *Cedar Creek Amateur
Radio Club* decided to spread the word about the over 100-year-old hobby

The Athens Daily Review reports:
There are now more licensed hams [in the USA] than at any time in history.

And no wonder. You don’t need the Internet or Wifi or cell plans. Just a
simple walkie talkie that now costs as low as $30 can connect you to
repeater systems that will send your voice across the world.

So how are new people exposed to the hobby? Through a book called “*Ham
Radio for Dummies*� by Ward Silver.

It is part of the “Dummies� series that explains topics and things in
simple terms. And now that the ham license no longer requires a code test,
anybody from age 5 to 95 can easily join in.

The Radio club, financed in part by a grant from LDG Electronics of St.
Leonard, MD, set out to put a copy of that book in most every school and
public library in the tri-county area.
