Meet this 19-year-old student — Koduru Nagasainath, one of the youngest radio hams in Telangana. Call it sheer obsession or passion, this teenager engages himself, all the time, in assembling and repairing various radio handsets and making them functional again. Right from setting up of a radio-transmitter, Nagasainath homebrewed almost all devices like TNC and antennas at his home, all by himself. At the age of nine, Sai started researching on amateur radio by experimenting on a walkie-talkie handset. Since then, his penchant for becoming radio ham got bigger. “After purchasing non-amateur walkie talkies radios in the market, I have altered their frequencies a few notches to match the standards of amateur radio,” he says.
