Amateurradio (also known as "Ham Radio") is a hobby for radio-communications enthusiasts who enjoy the technical challenges of radio; who enjoy communicating with others around the world or around the corner; or combining an interest in computers and wireless technologies. Amateurs are licenced by the Federal Government and must only use their equipment and assigned frequencies for non-commercial purposes. Radio Amateurs also play a role in providing communications during emergencies and for public service events. 

The hobby has many facets. Some just like chatting with other operators, some like building equipment or experimenting with antennas, others enjoy aspects of the hobby such as bouncing signals of the moon or devising ways to integrate computers and radio.
