Sri Vijaya Puram, March 18: The Directorate of IP&T orchestrated an exciting Scientific Expedition for students from Sri Vijaya Puram and nearby areas, offering a unique glimpse into the fascinating world of Amateur Radio (HAM Radio). The event, held at the Andaman Sunset View Resort in Mouwa Dera, Kurmadera yesterday, brought together 35 students from classes VI to IX of Government schools, who had the rare opportunity to engage with foreign experts from DX Adventure, Belgium.
Amateur Radio, widely known as HAM Radio, is a global communication system that allows licensed operators to transmit and receive radio signals for non-commercial purposes. This hands-on expedition aimed to ignite students’ curiosity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields by introducing them to the fundamentals of radio wave propagation, communication techniques, and emergency communication applications.
The seasoned HAM operators demonstrated live radio contacts with enthusiasts from Japan and Australia, offering students a firsthand experience of real-time global communication. The experts also highlighted the critical role HAM Radio plays in disaster response, scientific experiments, and fostering international connections.
The event left students inspired, providing them with a practical understanding of radio technology and its vast applications. As they tuned into different frequencies and listened to voices from across the globe, the young participants discovered that the world of communication knows no boundaries-only frequencies waiting to be explored.
