Help me make a ham zine
28 July 2024 at 15:49
Last night, on Mastodon, I came across a post that just made me say, βWow!β It contained a link to a post by Susan Kaye Quinn, who is a speculative fiction author with a PhD in environmental engineering, who writes hopepunk climate fiction & solarpunk. The post on Quinnβs webiste includes the following video on how to make an eight-page βzineβ from a single sheet of paper.
- Title Page: Cool Things that Hams Do
- Build Radios
- Operate from parks and lighthouse andβ¦
- Bounce signals off meteor trails
- Set up our own communications networks
- Talk to astronauts on the ISS (and other hams via satellites)
- Talk to each other using Morse Code
- Back Page β Want to get your own ham license?
Heres a startΒ I made on the βCool things hams doβ zine, and hereβs a template in Word format if you want to get started on your own.
Letβs make this a community effort
Iβd love to make this a community effort. Hereβs how you can help:
- If you can draw, perhaps you could make a drawing illustrating one or more points above.
- Come up with other ideas for the zine.
- Come up with ideas for other, more focused zines on particular topics.
