"Mankind will reach maturity on the day it learns to value diversity—of life and ideas. To be different is not necessarily to be ugly; to have a different idea is not necessarily to be wrong. The worst thing that could happen is for all of us to look and think and act alike." Gene Roddenberry

Room 723 & 725
Did you know that there is a hobby out there that allows you to build your own radios and use them to talk to amazing people from around the world by bouncing signals off of the sky? With the right equipment, you can even talk with astronauts on the International Space Station and reflect signals off the moon!
Amateur ("ham") radio opens up a whole world of wonder for both the aspiring physicist and the budding electronics engineer alike! Come see Windycon's special event ham radio station on the 7th floor, and see demonstrations of amazing machines from ham radio's past such as a 100-year-old teletype, and demos of the cutting edge digital modes that are ham radio's future!
Don't have an amateur radio license? No problem! The station's operators will happily show you how to use the station's equipment and make your first contact! Already a ham? Great! We'd love for you to visit the station for an in-person ragchew, and if you contact W9W on the air, you can be sent an attractive certificate!
