Marine Amateur Radio
For
anyone interested in using amateur radio on-board their boat this guide explains
how to study for and obtain a license, how to select equipment and install
it on board your boat, how to operate your radio for voice or Morse code
communications, how to link up with onshore signal repeaters to extend your
range and make personal phone calls, how to find and use ham marine radio
nets to make
position reports or request assistance, and
even how to send and receive e-mail using ham radio. Ham radio offers
many advantages to the recreational boater, and this well illustrated guide
succinctly explains how to make the most of those advantages. The Marine
Amateur Radio Guide is the first USPS book to be published by a commercial
publisher and to be offered in commercial book stores world-wide.
