On Friday, November 22, 2024, the Govt. Science College Science Club organized an inspiring Amateur Radio workshop aimed at introducing the fascinating world of amateur radio to the youth of Bangladesh. The event attracted 200 students from various educational institutions in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with a majority of participants being enthusiastic high school teenagers. The workshop was led by S21MOB (M.O.B. Jihad) and S21ACP (Md Sabbir Hossain). The workshop was divided into two engaging sessions. The first session focused on the theoretical foundations of amateur radio. Participants learned about the basics of amateur radio operations, the wide variety of activities, operating principles, and the relevant rules and regulations governing this hobby and communication platform. The second session was highly interactive and provided a hands-on experience. Students were divided into smaller subgroups and guided through the process of setting up a UHF/VHF base station. They also observed live QSOs and practiced using phonetic alphabets in real-time. Under the supervision of Control Operators S21MOB and S21ACP, several eager students even had the opportunity to make their very first on-air transmissions as part of a modulation test on simplex. This workshop not only introduced students to the technical side of amateur radio but also fostered a sense of community and collaboration, as participants worked together to set up equipment and communicate via radio. It was a day filled with hands-on learning, excitement, and discovery for all involved. We hope to organize similar workshops in the near future to inspire the next generation of amateur radio enthusiasts of Bangladesh. 73, S21MOB M.O.B. JIHAD
Thank you very much. Most of them were school students. we hope to organize more workshops like this near future.
Good initiative to get the youth to this fantastic hobby. Germany needs those workgroups too, because the latest studies showed that the most failed the digital skills and further other technical knowings. A generation which is only able to click and wipe and just (no fun) 1% showed in the studies the required knowings. Poets and thinkers, that's history.
We are trying to popularize this hobby among young generation in Bangladesh, We wish to organize this kinda workshop/Radio Camp near future again.
You Sir, need to be commended for your effort. What you are doing is outstanding, I wish to thank you for sharing this, the seeds you plant bring a noble future for all your students. 73
They will always need someone to keep the click&wipe infrastructure running. Amateur radio is great opportunity for youth to meet engineering way of life, to learn smth [complex] for fun, and probably to make some good choice towards future job.
