Embarking on a new journey into Amateur Radio
I have always been fascinated by wireless communications, most especially radio. My father was a police officer way back and he would bring home one or two handheld radios of various brands which caught my fancy. Usually, it's either a Motorola, a Kenwood, or an Icom. Everytime the handhelds emit audible scratches and squeals, I would always try to listen in, curious as to what the person at the otherside was talking about, what the code words were, what radio was used, and how to actually make the call. Fast forward some decades later, I was already working in the IT industry totally oblivious about radios while deeply immersed amongst computers and software. Then a co-worker took and passed his Technician's license exam. It got me curious, reigniting a long lost spark around radio and wireless communications.
