Operating HF Ham Radio at W1AW - ARRL Headquarters Tour

[@Blake-W8LB]

Thank you for this inside look at the ARRL and W1AW. It gives a great perspective of the history of the hobby , especially for us new hams

[@HamRadio2]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@meola69420]

Cool, I've caught W1AW on 20M SSB a couple of times and most recently on some band on FT8. When I looked up the call sign I was like "awwwww I wanna check that out" but I'm on a lowly little island on the west coast of Canada. Sure makes my janky shack look even jankier, I mean I don't even have a picture of it on QRZ it's so underwhelming!

[@fredbissnette3104]

After my basic test I got my hf licence in Canada - ve1qfa , my first ever hf contact was w1aw

[@KC4LZN]

On the bucket list. Thanks for the tour. Absolutely wonderful setup.

[@HamRadio2]

[@williammyers-ka8gim978]

[@HamRadio2]

Thanks again!

[@coozbo]

12 miles from my home QTH and I've never been there. Got to get out there.

[@HamRadio2]

Yeah, you should

[@JonathanKayne]

If I ever am in Connecticut for whatever reason, I’ll be for sure visiting the ARRL HQ.

[@ChrisCookTech]

Such a cool place! Strange to hear KE8PZN responding to CQ instead of calling!!

[@HamRadio2]

That's the power of W1AW lol

[@manoffaith2501]

Great video! I always wondered what it looked like inside, now I know. Thank you, 73 KE8NQL

[@wa5azqhamradio]

[@a2phil]

Want to go there to visit/operate, but are there any nearby activities for a "non-nerd" XYL???"

[@HamRadio2]

I didn't look, but probably

[@AA0Z]

Pink

[@HamRadio2]

Lol

[@brianhendrix]

It's impossible for that to be "modern" Ham Radio without macOS running on M2 systems! :)

[@HamRadio2]

There's nothing "modern" about an OS written for 16 year olds. ;)

[@brianhendrix]

@@HamRadio2 Don't make me come whup up on your . . . never mind.

[@threadripper979]

Ha! Zing!@@HamRadio2
