Amateur Radio

Amateur Radio, HAM Radio for short, is a hobby of communication by sending signals through the air to operators all over the planet and even into space (The InterNational Space Station - ISS). I have recently (1 1/2 years ago) begun this hobby. Fun, helpfull, and expensive. To operate an amateur radio, you must take a test to get your license. After that (this is the expensive part) you buy a radio. And then off you go into a world of fun and goodwill.
i have my license and a whole station in my house (8 radios, a computer, and several injuries).
I recommend this hobby to everyone. for more information on HAM Radio, go to: http://www.wikipedia.com/ , then search: Amateur Radio. Or eMail Me.
