What is Amateur Radio? |
|
The FCC Definition: The Amateur Radio Service is a voluntary noncommercial communication service, used by qualified persons of any age who are interested in radio technique with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest. More Information Click Here.
“Amateur Radio is a great hobby & public service.”
Amateur Radio Operators around the world spend their time, money, & interest in providing a communications back bone that can reach the world. It has been described as the “Best Communications Back-Up System in the World!” When not being used for emergency or public service interest, these licensed operators take part in a fun hobby that involves contest, electronics, computers, & friendships. |
