joemt included "HAM Technician Level" in [post=29907]Post #41[/post]. In [post=29993]Post #43[/post], MedicStudentJon apparently did not know what a HAM Technician was, so he replied, "That means that you are really good at handling some Pork Products???" With "HAM" being the linking factor, he added that he is also an ameteur radio (aka HAM radio) operator and included his call sign.

I don't know what a HAM Technicial Level is, either.

No offense taken..except that I'm Jo EMT..... of the female variety... eh well, my fault for choosing that ID many moons ago.... LOL. Anyway, yeah I figured that you knew what "HAM Technician" was...

HAM Technicians operate amateur radios. My technician certification allows me to operate the radio, but I haven't "tested" out on my Morse Code yet, so I am not allowed to send MC messages... there are other levels of HAM operators out there... I got mine because at one time I was the Emergency Management Coordinator at a rural hospital, and it was a requirement of the job....
 
Jo... I did actually assume (or you posted) that you were female... so I guess I blew that one... oops...:blush:

I'm also a no-code Tech. Just FYI - you are allowed to use any mode allowed in your allotted bands (everything above 50mhz). This includes morse code. You just aren't allowed to have access to the "international" bands because of international agreements that have since been changed.

There are three different classes for HAM operation.
In order they are:
Technician, General, and Special Class. (in my opinion technician sounds cooler than general, and the two names should be switched) The only difference between the levels is that each one requires more knowledge of how radios, etc work.

With each class you also gain access to additional frequencies that you are allowed to talk on.

Morse code is no longer required for the Technician class, it is required and tested upon for the General class. I'm working on a General Class license right now :p
