Amateur radio is a technical as well as social and public service hobby that spans the entire world.
Amateur radio allows people the advancement of one's knowledge of radio theory, electronics, and emergency management. The hobby can be as simple as talking on local-area repeaters with those in the same town, to building your own radio or experimenting with new forms of telecommunications. The HAM hobbyist can talk to those on the other side of the earth with nothing more than a simple High Frequency transceiver and an equally simple wire antenna. Amateur radio operators talk with other HAM radio hobbyists using all sorts of communication modes. From Morse Code and voice to Slow Scan Television and computer networking through the radio waves, These hobbyists reach out with goodwill from their homes, cars, boats and outdoors.
