The History of AM/FM Radio
In 1872, Joshua Coppersmith was arrested and charged with attempting to steal money from gullible people who believed his claim that he could produce an instrument that would transmit voice over wires. Within four years of Coppersmith's arrest, Alexander Graham Bell had invented the telephone which transmitted voice over wires just as Coppersmith had claimed he could do.

How Does Satellite Radio Work?

Satellite radio signal can be broadcasted for more than 35,000 kilometers (22,000 miles) with complete clarity and high quality sound. You will never get static interferences while listening to over 100 radio channels. The idea behind satellite radio has appeared in 1992, when the United States Federal Communications Commission granted a spectrum of the S band (the 2.3 GHz frequency) for Digital Audio Radio Service.

What Do Your Implants Look Like...? Is Your Privacy Exposed? Are Radio Frequency Identification Technologies (RFID) Skin Deep
I think at first glance most of mankind would think the use of RFID in the medical application of say, an Alzheimer patient for their own protection and well-being would be an acceptable proposition. I don't want to think of my Mom or Dad aimlessly wandering about lost if they suffered from Alzheimer's. But here lies the problem, I remember many years ago when I was first exposed to new technologies that eventually cumulated to today's Internet. I'm sure like many others who still think that the Internet is only limited by what we can dream with endless possibilities of better ways to serve mankind. What I didn't foresee was the pervasive and pandemic scourge brought about by organized crime, cybercriminals, Identity Thieves, acts of terror...

H.A.M. Radio
Ham radio has a long and important history. As society and technology continue to move on to new things, a small segment continues to enjoy the hobby as well as to educate and help during disasters. WHAT IS HAM RADIO? Ham radio is the the term coined for amateur radio enthusiasts who learn to operate radios as a hobby or for practical use. Hams - as operators are called - can use various methods for transmitting messages including Morse code via telegraph, voice transmission via radio or messages through a computer. New methods of transmitting television allow for images to be received around the world by hams. Some hams have contributed to the development of new technologies for other uses. The term 'ham' has unknown origin although there are several theories. WHO USES HAM RADIO? Ham radio operators can be anyone - doctors, homemakers, truck drivers - who enjoys communicating with new friends. Hams can talk across town or around the world. Ham radio was used by the military in the World Wars and by ships. The well known 'SOS' is just one of the codes that operators use to relay messages to one another. In emergencies ham radio operators volunteer to assist with transmitting messages when normal communications are unavailable. Hams are all over the world - even in space! While in orbit or on the space station astronauts have spoken with other operators as well as children, teachers and parents. The program is called ARISS, Amateur Radio on the International Space Station. Hams are young and old, men and women and of every background and occupation. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO START? In the United States you must obtain a license from the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). To be licensed by the FCC you must pass an exam. The exam is administered by a volunteer ham operator and you are then mailed your license. You can often find websites or groups where you can locate a tutor who will answer questions or offer instruction before you take your exam. One such resource is the ARRL website (www.arl.org). The ARRL is the National Association for Amateur Radio and provides training and resources for getting started as well as updates and news for the ham radio community. HOW MANY HAMS ARE THERE? The ARRL site claims over 170,000 members. FCC licenses have been issued to over 600,000 individuals in the United States and there are over 3,000,000 hams in Japan and many more throughout the world according to statistics found at www.ah0a.org. With so many people to talk to, there are even competitions to see how far away you can transmit and many other events within the community. http://www.mywebconferecnespace.com An off topic to strict internet communication, but interesting to say the least.
