It’s sometimes referred to as "ham" radio, and the operators are sometimes called “hams.”
The Amateur Radio Service offers a unique mix of public service, technology and experimenting with electronics all with an emphasis on fun. Some hams use their skills to provide communications during emergencies and disasters when other forms of communication fail.
Others enjoy talking to people across the country and around the globe, participating in contests and building experiments.
