Conclusion - What Next?
So, this is the end?
Not at all; in fact, it is just the beginning!
Radio is a massive subject, a science waiting to be discovered and experimented with.
Try out a little of each of the subjects covered here; see what floats your proverbial boat.
Watch YouTube and other videos or books on each subject
Listen to each band, mode, and commercial as well as amateur or metrics
Build gear and antennas. Antennas can be built from old tape measures and coat hangers (Metal ones, of course)
Join an amateur radio group or start one, either in real life or on Facebook.
Radio changes with the time of year, so please don't dismiss any activity at first listen.
Get a licence, PMR446 or CB radio, and communicate with friends
Maybe start your own YouTube channel, as I did 5 years ago to track my journey; I have come a long way!
Yes, this channel doesn't have a massive following or sponsors telling me what to do and when, but I am authentic and enthusiastic.
