Radio Amateurs

Radio amateurs, commonly known as ham radio operators, are licensed individuals who use dedicated radio frequencies to communicate locally and globally. They often experiment with radio technology, assist in emergency communications, and participate in contests and community events. Operating within regulated frequencies, amateurs can transmit voice, digital data, and Morse code. Their activities promote technical skills, emergency preparedness, and international goodwill. Unlike commercial radio broadcasters, ham operators are hobbyists and volunteers committed to responsible usage, education, and fostering connections across diverse communities worldwide.
