My best suggestion (or rather, what I used back in about 1996) was a book called "Now You're Talking", which now seems to be published as the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual, published by the American Radio Relay League. There's probably also a number of different online resources available. If you want some good sites to just get an overview of things, I recommend <a href="http://qrz.com">qrz.com</a> and <a href="http://arrl.org">arrl.org</a>.<br>

I missed an opportunity to learn about HAM radio from my uncle ( KIP ). I've seen ham stuff in the kernel since, well, the first kernel I compiled myself (1995ish or so).<br><br>Any ham out there in ALE land willing to point me in a good direction for HAM learning? Not sure where I'm going with this but I do know that hams really help out when other communication methods are down and that ability to help is something I want to learn how to do.<br>
