Here is the transcript of the talk.

My name is indrajit, i live at the foothill of mount girnar. i am farmer, advocate and i am radio amateur with call sign VU3INJ. i also write a blog. you can find link in the discription. vu3inj.blogspot.com.

For me the inspirations of making this small vedio tutorial is the KE0OG, Dave Castler. he remind me our elmer vu2dev, guru dev.

There are many information's, vedios, books, talks inspiring us to be radio amateur. there are many vedios on how they enjoy their radio hobby and their achievement or special technical subject of expertize.

From my experience, the radio amateur journey can be classified in the follwoing time-line segments.

First is ---> inspiration to be ham / radio amateur and then actually contacting a real  ham. Getting a demo in club stations etc. First step is inspriations, many peoples are doing great work on it.

Second is :---> getting ready for the asoc , ham radio examinations.
fill the forms,apply for radio examinations,get the study materials, preparation for exam, giving exam and finally declaration of the result.

after this i call a
Third stage is :---> If successful, waiting for the license this can be month or years. There will be anciliary process of police verifications, fee and other correspondence.

Forth stage is ---> Actually getting the licenses in your own hand.

And fifth stage is :---> procuring the instruments.radio equipments. the biggest pitfall is here. You need to decide. What choices ?  make your own radio instruments, buy cheap chines ones , american kits, or japanese commercial equipment. this is a big thing.

Advice from my experience is go for commercial equipment. over the time save your money over the years when you get around 35k-50k look for fresh rigs which suits this budget ft817 and many mores etc.

Do not fall into the traps of homebrewing. although i am a big homebrewer and learned at great cost of money and time.

Whole point of all these talks is getting into the air and communicate.

in india due to red tap and securities issues the license issuing process is very very slow. nothing can be done about it. bear it.

Be on air. that is true ham radio. being on the air should be our motto. All other steps are necessary evil of the system.

be on air day after day and then you will really enjoy the friendship and comradary of radio amateurs.

73, see you on AIR.
