^ These frequencies extend up into the infrared frequencies and X-Ray frequencies. Some of these frequencies are used by the government as well as a hand full of ham radio operators.
ΰ Note: The following list was created by me off hand. Do not complain if the frequencies are a few kilohertz off!
Questions and Answers:
----------------------------------------
Question: Where can I learn about all of these frequencies?
Answer: You will have to buy a scanner of some sort.
----------------------------------------
Question: What is a scanner and where can I buy a cheap one? An expensive one?
Answer: A scanner is a device that picks up radio waves. The cheaper ones will only get frequencies from 29 MHz to about 512 MHz with skips. Some stores that may have these are Bestbuy, Circuit City, and Frys (mainly they are Uniden or BearCat Scanners). Some more efficient ones can be found at RadioShack. These run frequencies between about 29 MHz to about 960 MHz with skips. The top places to go with expensive scanners are Icom, Yaseu, Kenwood, and Alinco. In general, they run anywhere from $60 - $2,000 to the general public.
-------------------------------------
Question: Why should I invest my time to get a HAM radio license?
Answer: Once you pass your first level test, you will have the ability to transmit on frequencies that ordinary citizens cannot transmit on. You and your new HAM friends will be able to dodge the high cell phone costs and talk world-wide. You will also be able to use some of the telephone companies cell phone towers for free (yes, that is legal)! You will also be able to use satellites and have fun contacting people from all over using very low amounts of power. Soon, you will find techniques such as aiming your antenna on the moon to contact people as well as reflect your radio waves off comets to meet other people around the world! You can even join groups such as RACES to discover you can save a life in an emergency with quick thinking communication. Take the test for yourself by following by Ham Radio Sites Links and find out how easy it is to take the test!
