Radio amateurs will discover a richly rewarding high-tech hobby that appeals to different people in a variety of ways. Whether it is the ability to talk to local friends over the radio waves using a hand-held transceiver (HT), communicating digitally with packet radio to exchange personal messages or vital information in an emergency, talking to other hams anywhere in the world, or engaging in contests with other Radio Amateurs over the airwaves - there's something for everyone.
LSM is offering this course as a way to promote ham radio to the youth of South Louisiana. This course is recommended for adults and kids 10 years and older. Lafayette Science Museum is located at 433 Jefferson Street, Lafayette, LA.
