Radio hams were the pioneers of social networking

The Hindu newspaper reports lot of brainstorming happens when Hams of
Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad meet

After hemming and hawing for long enough, Ham operators (Amateur Radio
operators) are coming together with a common agenda of seeking greater role
during emergencies. The fraternity, which enjoys a unique social networking
powered by radio waves, mostly uses this mode to make friends through
incidental contacts on an amateur radio, a wireless transceiver (radio
transmitter combined with receiver) that works as the networking platform.
Now they want the governments to recognise and utilise the vast potential
it presents.

In Andhra Pradesh, there are about 1,000 hams but not all of them are
active. For the first time, the Academy of Ham Radio in city, in
coordination with a group of amateur radio operators, is planning a
Karthika Samaradhana at a farm house on the banks of River Krishna in the
suburbs on November 17.

“I am really excited about this gathering, being organised on a big scale
for the first time. We have Hams from the two Telugu-speaking states coming
to be part of this robust gathering", says Ramesh Babu Arza, chief
programme coordinator of the Academy that has trained nearly 2,000 people
in last 34 years. Experts from Hyderabad have been invited to enthuse the
greenhorns and share their knowledge.
