A good place to get started?
A good place to get started?
Hello everyone.
I recently learned on this very community about SOTA and immediately fell in love with the concept because it combined my two favorite things: hiking and technology/radio. Problem is, I don't actuatlly have any formal knowledge or qualification, but I would very much like to start learning.
I don't know the exact laws about ham radio in my country (Romania) but I will look them up if that helps.
Thank you in advance for anything.
I would normally recommend hamstudy.org, however I don't think that will entirely be of use for you unfortunately as it's US based. I did find this site which may be your best point of contact: https://www.hamradio.ro/
They should be able to direct you to a local club, or resources to help you learn and get licensed. 73s

În mod normal, aș recomanda hamstudy.org, cu toate acestea, nu cred că vă va fi de folos, din păcate, deoarece are sediul în SUA. Am găsit acest site care poate fi cel mai bun punct de contact al tău: https://www.hamradio.ro/
Ar trebui să vă poată direcționa către un club local sau resurse care să vă ajute să învățați și să obțineți licență. 73s
Thank you for the quick reply! hamstudy seems to be a very good resource for general radio information and I'll definitely learn a lot from there.
As for country-specific info, I may have found a club that I will contact in the following days. Problem is, I don't think there are many radio amateurs still operating in my hometown.
Thank you very much for all the help!
