Ham Radio

HAM Radio and Homeschooling: A Good Fit
What about socialization? Ham radio may seem like a hermit's hobby, sitting alone in a room with a bunch of electronic equipment, but it's actually very social. It's all about talking to other people on radio. By Chris Mahar.

Broadcast History
Most people think "Broadcasting" began with Guglielmo Marconi in 1895. However, there were several antecedents to Marconi, and, yes, even "broadcasts" before Marconi's experiments.

We offer hundreds of vintage radio shows for you to listen to online in mp3 format, all for free.

Zucchini Brothers Radio Show
Modeled on oldtime radio, back before there was TV, "Live! at the Clubhouse" is a great place for young listeners. It's educational. It's got facts about science and nature. And, it's always 100% healthy and 100% fun!

Make Your Own


How to Make a Foxhole Radio
GI's, during World War Two, built these sets which took advantage of (comparatively) readily available materials. The instructions are purposely lacking in detail; these were a project designed with improvisation in mind.

Build Your Own Crystal Shortwave Receiver
The fidelity of tone and clarity of crystal rectification are hard to beat. What's more, crystal sets are absolutely free! A crystal receiver is powered solely by the radio waves that it pulls from the air.

Building a basic AM broadcast crystal set
I highly recommend that you build this set if you've never built a set before. I've included a brief set of plans, a listing of assembly steps, and a drawing for building the set shown below (Figure 1). It's one of the easiest sets to build and it works well if you have a strong, local AM station.

How To Make A Streaming Audio File
How to create your own radio show for your website: the technical details.
