Think amateur radio is all about dorks with walkie talkies? Think again. Amateur radio presents one of the last bastions for open radio experimentation. This talk will provide a brief introduction to amateur radio, explain the advantages of licensed spectrum for experimentation, and describe how to get involved in the leading edge of radio hacking. JonM has been a licensed amateur radio operator for nearly a decade, but has never worn a radio on his belt. He holds an Amateur Extra license, the highest level granted in the US. When not mucking with the airwaves,he is a consultant specializing in application security.
