     WHAT IS AMATEUR RADIO?
Amateur radio is all about the skill and fascination of communicating using radio. Radio amateurs use a wide variety of radio communication equipment to communicate with each other and provide emergency communications with their communities. Radio amateurs have their own communication satellites, can talk to astronauts aboard the International Space Station, and often involved in cutting-edge experimental wireless technology. It is an incredible diverse and very popular interest with over six million people involved worldwide.
