What is Amateure Radio?
 
  • Amateur Radio was started by the FCC in 1932 for the purpose of of developing a pool of radio operators that become essential during emergencies.
     

  • This hobby prevents hams, another name for amateur radio operators, from charging money for their services. 
     

  • During non-emergencies ham, provide communications for sports, parades, and other events.
