About Amateur Radio & P A R C

What is Amateur Radio?

Amateur Radio is all about communicating with Radio. Amateurs are mostly non-professionals who hold a Radio Amateur's Licence. Transmissions are allowed on certain frequencies and using certain types of transmission such as voice, digital signals and Morse code. Some amateurs use home-made equipment others equipment made commercially. Radio contact can be made with people all over the world. You can transmit from home, a vehicle or a field with a radio powered by batteries! You do not have to learn Morse code to obtain a licence although currently you can transmit on more frequencies if you do.
