What is amateur radio?
Ham radio operators use two-way radio stations from
their homes, cars, boats and outdoors to make hundreds
of friends around town and around the world. They communicate
with each other using voice, computers, and Morse code.
Some hams bounce their signals off the upper regions
of the atmosphere, so they can talk with hams on the
other side of the world. Other hams use satellites.
Many use hand-held radios that fit in their pockets.
Hams
exchange pictures of each other using television. Some
also like to work on electronic circuits, building their
own radios and antennas. A few pioneers in Amateur Radio
have even contributed to advances in technology that
we all enjoy today. There are even ham-astronauts who
take radios with them on the International Space Station
and thrill thousands of hams on earth with a call from
space!
But seriously... Using
even the simplest of radio setups and antennas, amateurs
communicate with each other for fun, during emergencies,
and even in contests. They handle messages for police
and other public service organizations during all kinds
of emergencies including:
Hurricanes
Earthquakes
Tornadoes and floods
Motorist accidents
Fires and chemical spills
Search and rescue
Please enjoy this website
and we hope to hear from you!
