Anyone can be an amateur radio operator. All you need is interest and a licence. In amateur radio there are no race, age, creed, sex or class distinctions. It is a service which emphasizes people's common interests, not their differences. Everyone is eligible.
Amateur radio exists in nearly every country of the world.
Unlike CBers, who may radiate only a few watts of power, on relatively a few channels of one band, amateurs can legally run up to 1000 watts on thousands of frequencies on many different bands, allowing two-way communication with other amateurs around the world. Amateur radio is a hobby of self-education and emergency preparedness. The operators of the Harvard Radio Club station were Albert Hyman, Bob Almy, and Poogie Murray. Since amateur radio is primarily a hobby, business communications are generally not permitted. All communications must be voluntarily provided without accepting any form of payment.
