Some may ask what is Amateur Radio or Ham Radio?

Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.

Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications with each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary, while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio. Amateur Radios are capable of communicating all over the world with there stations.

The term "amateur" is not a reflection on the skills of the participants, which are often quite advanced; rather, "amateur" indicates that amateur radio communications are not allowed to be made for commercial or money-making purposes.

Does Amateur Radio requries a license?

Amateur Radio is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under the Communications Act of 1934. All Amateur Radio operators must be licensed. There are three difference license classes. The higher the class of license, the more frequencies are available. Currently the three class licenses are as follows:   Technician, General, and Amateur Extra.
