HAM RADIO LICENSING IN INDIA

As you all can find immense resource about HAM Radio and its related hobbies in internet, i am hereby trying to give some help to get such license in India. So this post is for someone who is planning to write the licensing exam (Amateur Station Operator's Certificate or ASOC). No HAM technical are described here... for that u should dig somewhere else..

Even somebody got the idea.. i guess.. the smell of a hot soldering iron.. Let us start.. Basics  Use the extra available USB internal headers on a motherboard (refer mobo manuals). Nowdays all mobos have plenty of such headers.. but rarely used by any user.. So... Ingrediants needed. 1. A female USB port.. (screw some friend of yours having a Pentium 2 or 3  PC. ) 2. Wire harness of old PC speaker and front pannel connector (u r again lucky to have such a friend). 3. A small lined PCB. (Cut it around with just 4 lines at a length of 2 cm.. ) 4. The usuals.. obviously the Iron, solder paste, solder lead etc... Design Methodology Solder the 4 wire harness on the 4 lines of PCB. Understand the board connectors from the skteches. Also understand the four copper contact...
