HAM Radio

Ham radio, or amateur radio, is a hobby and service that enables individuals to communicate wirelessly over various distances using radio frequencies. Operators, known as "hams," use radios to connect with others, share information, and provide emergency communication during disasters. Unlike commercial radio, ham radio requires a license and knowledge of radio technology and regulations. It serves as a platform for experimentation, public service, and community engagement, allowing participants to build skills in electronics, antenna design, and radio operation while fostering international friendships.
