Amateur Radio is a multifaceted hobby with something for almost everyone. It has activities and challenges for those with interests in electronics, radio reception and transmission, television, satellite communication, data communication, simple chatting with others around the world, building electronic projects, competing in skill testing events, providing community service, meeting other people, computers, and many more.
It is a hobby open to all regardless of age, race, gender, creed, wealth, social status or disability, and in most nations of the world.
While I could continue for some time here, there are a couple of sources that have already been very well done that should answer most of the questions one might have about HAM radio.
