About Ham Radio

If you're not a ham radio operator, this page is for you.

To get a brief overview of amateur radio activities, visit the ARRL's  Introduction to Amateur Radio page. The ARRL, or American Radio Relay League, is the largest amateur radio organization in the US and has a wealth of information on its web site.

In particular, the following pages deal with hams in public service:

bulletARRL Backgrounder #1:  Amateur Radio Emergency Communication 
bulletARRL Backgrounder #2:  Using Amateur Radio in an Emergency
 

To find out if amateur radio is something you might enjoy participating in, make contact with a club near you. A telephone call to the club president or the membership chair will result in a friendly explanation of what's involved and no doubt an offer to help you get started.
