Something about Ham Radio in General

Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants,
called "hams" use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other
radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.

Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications with
each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary,
while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory.

An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.

The term "amateur" is not a reflection on the skills of the participants, which are often quite advanced;
rather, "amateur" indicates that amateur radio communications are not allowed to be made for commercial or
money-making purposes.
