What if you could keep in touch with other hams, when travelling with your handheld and without access to a local repeater?<br \/>\nImagine a cross country, long train ride full of nice and relaxing QSO&#8217;s.<br \/>\nThe other day, RedBull Air Race came to Oporto, Portugal. As I live in Lisbon, I decided to take the 300 kms ride by train to watch the race. I took my <a href=\"http:\/\/network-radios.com\/index.php\/product\/sure-f25-4g-lte-wifi\/\">handheld network radio<\/a> with me. It looks just like a conventional handheld transceiver. But it&#8217;s not. It is a cellphone with a PTT button. With TeamSpeak 3 installed and tuned into the <a href=\"http:\/\/network-radios.com\/index.php\/2017\/10\/16\/irn-international-radio-network\/\">IRN &#8211; International Radio Network<\/a>, I was connected to my favourite hamradio Talk Group: The Guild QSO channel. I tell you&#8230; What a fantastic ride. Well, I must admit, I love a nice cross-country train ride. I just sat back, relaxed and enjoyed the views through my window, while talking to my ham friends. Luckly, this train offered free Wi-Fi connection, but I could also have used my 3G dataplan.<br \/>\nI know this is far from conventionl hamradio, but things are evolving. If for you this is not hamradio, because you are using a commercial network for voice transport, I respect you, but&#8230; The way I see it? A hamradio OM, on a relaxing train ride, with a cute radio-like handheld, talking to other hams, on the other side of the ocean. For me, this is nothing but &#8220;<em>hamradioing<\/em>&#8220;.<br \/>\nEnjoy your ride!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/network-radios.com\/index.php\/product\/sure-f25-4g-lte-wifi\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-72\" src=\"http:\/\/network-radios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/f22-500px-180x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/network-radios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/f22-500px-180x300.png 180w, https:\/\/network-radios.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/f22-500px.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all love talking to the hamradio comunity, right?
