HAM radio, also known as amateur radio, is a popular hobby and public service that involves the use of designated radio frequency spectra for purposes of self-training, intercommunication, and technical testing. Here’s a brief overview of HAM radio, including its key aspects and applications.
- Emergency Services: HAM radio operators often provide critical communication support during disasters when traditional communication infrastructures fail.
- Space Communication: Hams can communicate with the International Space Station (ISS) and other space missions.
- Education and Experimentation: It’s a platform for learning about radio technology and for scientific experimentation in radio communication.
