That’s really cool, its a world I know very little about. What is an example of something you have listened to or communicated with?

Today I was able to reach New Zealand from the US East Coast for the first time. I don’t generally talk about specific subjects on the air. Mostly, I exchange basic contact information and signal reports. Merely establishing radio communication over such long distances without reliance on the Internet or other infrastructure is fun. It’s amazing to think that with a little radio knowledge you can communicate across the globe. It also pushes me to learn more about radio and electrical engineering.

That really is an impressive accomplishment. Yeah learning more EE seams like a great reason. Aviation radios have all sorts of clever tricks to get a longer antenna. Some WWII era planes would trail their antennas behind the aircraft.
