Radio in general is a technologically advanced field, and those who have obtained their ham radio licenses can tell you that learning some of that technology can be challenging. We've collected some links that can help you understand both the basics behind radio and some of the in-depth engineering that goes into the physics of radio, along with ways to improve your setup.
