| Iowa is known for it's great
agricultural products in both grain and livestock. We are consistently among the top in producing Soybeans, Corn, Hogs, and Cattle. The name "Iowa" comes from the American Indian term "Beautiful Land" - for which we praise God that it is. Indeed we are well blessed by God's generosity His provision
of this wonderful land and His provision of His Son, Jesus Christ |

links for Ham operators.
(And for those who'd like to be !) Amateur Radio, also called ham radio, is an diverse hobby that can be used for world-wide communications or for chatting with friends across a parking lot. There are even gateways between ham radio and the Internet. There are tons of fun things you can do! Amateur Radio is used world-wide. It combines radio, TV, satellites, computers, networks, and much more. Not to be confused with CB radio, amateur radio requires licensing by the Federal Communications Commission. Although some technical knowledge is required, an Amateur Radio License is not hard to get. The youngest ham in the US was five years old when first licensed. Hams in other countries are licensed by their governments, and with few exceptions, communications around the world is free and unfettered. It is usually ham radio operators who establish the first communications links after major emergencies. If you are not a licensed ham, it is very easy to become one. There are lots of materials available on the Internet, and every community has clubs that can help you and provide an immediate circle of friends to learn from. Find out more about it. Click HERE for more information about becoming an amateur radio operator.
For more general information about Ham Radio, here are some great Web starting points that link to many others which in turn link to hundreds of others.
