eHam Forums / Youth / Youth Ham Calling Frequency

Does anybody know if there is a specific calling frequency for youth amateurs?
If there isn't would anyone be interested in a QSO with another youth ham on 40 meters? I'm in Ohio.
Thanks,

Hi, I'm a Life Scout and the Senior Patrol Leader for Troop 123 out of Doylestown, Ohio. Are there any other troops around here planning on setting up a JOTA station?
Thanks,

I got to talk to a couple of ham friends while at Scout camp and I have two questions
for all you older hams....First, why can we have frequency modulated single side band? Or at least FM without the carrier?
and secondly, if SSB is so efficient, why don't we have SSB 2 meter HTs?
73,

eHam Forums / Station Building / Parent and Budget Restrictions...HELP!

Currently I am an upcoming junior in high school and I live with about two acres of yard that I have to share with the rest of my family. Currently I have an Icom IC-718 connected by alligator clips to 130 feet of wire going out of my window. I have tried to transmit but the SWR comes back as around over 9:1 or infinite. I guess this means it is not resonant, and I have made no contacts yet with it. I have asked them about an building an actual dipole for 1-30 MHZ but our yard is only about 300 feet long and they have issues with ladder line dangling in the air. I have also talked to them about a ground mounted vertical but the radials would prevent my dad from mowing. 10 meters and up seems like a better choice for me since I have a very limited budget. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations about a rig that is capable of 10 and up or 6 and up, all modes. I would also prefer that it has a really good receiver and can do digital if possible. As I already mentioned, I'm also very budget limited also. If anyone had any antenna and rotor suggestions, that would be great too.
Thanks and 73s,
KD8QGJ, William Schaffer

Hey,
I just joined CAP,(actually I send in my application next week), I am going to upgrade to General and Extra this month, I'm sure if I do ham radio, there are plenty of other CAP members that do it to.

I'm trying to convince my mom to let me buy the 260 foot wire antenna from dx engineering, but she feels that it will cause the house and the trees to get stuck by lightning. Could someone direct me to some links of wire antenna assembly and mounting as well as how to ground it?
Thanks and 73s.
