The Elm exists in the long tradition of radio that values signal, message, and mystery. Not for spectacle, but for continuity. Amateur radio is part of that tradition.
Holding an amateur radio license does not always mean frequent operation or daily contacts. It means understanding the systems that made radio what it is: propagation, transmission, reception. It means studying the infrastructure behind the invisible.
The skills and concepts behind amateur radio such as antennas, bands, modulation, and noise inform everything about how this station thinks about broadcast. The framework of holding an amateur license is always present... in curiosity, in structure, and in quiet listening.
This page exists to acknowledge that connection. Not to instruct. Not to log. Just to note that The Elm carries that influence, steady and quiet.
