When we think of radio, we usually think of public broadcast and commercial stations – but the radio spectrum houses many different kinds of communications: military, aviation and marine, data modes and telegraphy, and contacts between amateur radio enthusiasts.
This toolkit explores radio in an expanded sense, questioning the potential of this medium for human connection. This resource is a beginners guide to the physics of radio, and will equip you with tools to be able to use online software-defined radio platforms, to hear voice, data and telegraphy transmissions from all over the world. No tech needed other than a computer with internet connection.
This toolkit was produced by Hannah Kemp-Welch for Soundcamp 2020.
