Read an account (LB) on Helene from a ham radio operator in North Carolina. Ham radio sounds more necessary than ever in our time (the operator has satellite internet, and I'm uncomfortable about that becoming necessary).
I wonder how many hams are equipped around my urban neighborhood. Did notice that every commenter on his piece appeared to be a man. Wonder what it's like to be a non-male (or younger, or non-white...) operator.
Okay, my interest in ham radio's utility is overriding my hesitation. I want to learn it, and I want to be able to help, AND I'm okay being part of the uncomfortable period of nudging toward inclusion.
Does anyone have recommendations for getting into ham radio as a non-male, younger-than-some, non-right-wing person?
I'm in the PNW in terms of clubs or classes, but broad educational resource recommendations are also welcome!
