** What is Amateur Radio?
Amateur Radio is a non-commercial radio communication service whose
primary aims are public service, technical training & experimentation
and communication between private persons. Amateur Radio operators
are commonly called hams. Hams often communicate with each other
recreationally but also provide communications for others at public
events or in times of emergency or disaster.
** Who can become a ham?
The answer to this question differs in every country. But
in the USA, anyone who is not a representative of a foreign
government can be an Amateur Radio operator. There are tests
that you must pass to get a license, however the tests are quite
simple. On that general level, the requirements are probably similar
in almost every country.
