WiMo creates knowledge - The WiMo Amateur Radio Guide
Occasionally, the question arises in the circle of acquaintances, what amateur radio actually is and how one could get into it. And then it starts: "Yes, well, that..." - and already it becomes difficult.
Without question, the amateur radio hobby is complex. How do you explain it to someone in such a way that you don't forget anything, but at the same time convey the fascination of the hobby and point out the possibilities of getting started? Quite simply - with the WiMo amateur radio guide for beginners and all those who want to learn more about the subject.
WiMo now offers a free e-mail series in German and English that explains in six steps what amateur radio is all about. Questions about what makes amateur radio so fascinating, the scope of the technology involved, where the difficulties lie and how to get started are answered. The mails come once a week and are relatively short. So you know without much effort after six weeks exactly what it is all about and whether amateur radio is the right hobby for you.
WiMo has chosen the format of e-mail to keep access as low-threshold as possible. E-mail as one of the oldest services on the Internet is ubiquitous and poses no problems for anyone today. And dividing the comprehensive topic into six manageable chapters that come directly to one's inbox once a week ensures a staggered intake without overwhelming.
The topics have been chosen to give readers a good overview of the possibilities and requirements of modern amateur radio. At the same time, there is no unnecessary simplification. It is not hidden that amateur radio is a technical hobby that requires some dedication. Nevertheless, the hobby offers enough scope to allow everyone to participate at any technical level.
WiMo creates knowledge. After an introduction in the first mail, the different types of amateur radio are presented step by step, then the physical basics. This is followed by the equipment technology, one mail deals with the topic 'antennas' and finally a little bit about equipment and the outlook. Thereby the WiMo amateur radio guide always offers enough links and hints to deepening material.
And - very important - the E-Mail-Guide does not contain any advertising! The text is kept neutral, no manufacturer or brand is emphasized at any point. The WiMo Amateur Radio Guide offers factual information without polarizing or advertising. WiMo's interest and thus motivation for such an elaborate e-mail route is clear: preparing the next generation of radio amateurs. WiMo lives from and with amateur radio, and wants to do its part to introduce more people to this beautiful hobby.
The WiMo Amateur Radio Guide is a means to this end, and is now available to everyone free of charge.
