Getting Started in Amateur Radio book cover – beginner amateur radio guide
Getting Started in Amateur Radio is the ideal introduction for anyone curious about the hobby, newly licensed operators, or those looking to expand their amateur radio horizons. Amateur radio offers countless possibilities — from receiving digital images from the International Space Station to making satellite contacts, supporting emergency communications, exploring HF, VHF and UHF bands, or even attempting Moonbounce (EME).
This RSGB guide explains what you can do with your first VHF/UHF or HF station, the additional equipment you may need, and how to get the most from different amateur radio bands. It includes practical antenna advice, operating techniques for CW, FM, SSB and digital modes, and guidance on DXing, contesting and amateur radio awards.
The book also covers microwave and LF bands, satellite operation, and provides a straightforward path for those who still need to obtain their amateur radio licence. Packed with tips, examples and clear explanations, it’s the perfect starting point for a lifelong radio journey.
