Amateur Radio, often referred to as Ham Radio, is a popular hobby that allows individuals to communicate with others across the globe using various radio frequencies. Enthusiasts, known as hams, use their skills to build and operate their own radio equipment, participate in contests, and provide emergency communication services during disasters. This hobby not only fosters technical knowledge and skills in electronics and radio technology but also promotes community and friendship among operators. Many hams enjoy experimenting with different modes of communication, such as CW (Morse code), SSB (single sideband), and digital modes, making it a diverse and engaging pastime.
