WHAT IS HAM RADIO

Amateur Radio or Ham Radio as it is called is a fascinating hobby.
A radio amateur (also called a ham) with a wireless set can talk to a geologist in the Antarctica, astronauts on the ISS (international space station), or the captain of an Italian ship sailing in the Pacific Ocean.
People who pursue the hobby of using a personal radio station to communicate, purely for noncommercial purposes, with other radio hobbyists call it ham radio or Amateur Radio.
They call themselves Amateur Radio operators, ham radio operators or just plain "hams." Hams communicate with other hams, around the Clock, on a distant continent or from an orbiting space station! Some talk via computers, others prefer to use regular voice communications and still others enjoy using one of the oldest forms of radio communication - The Morse Code.
