Real Wireless begins here! The Amateur Radio Service (aka Ham Radio) came into being in the earliest days of wireless, over 100 years ago. Hams develop skills to build and operate radio systems (analog and digital) that are capable of reaching around the world and, literally, to the moon and back! Hams enjoy operating privileges second only to the military; not even public safety agencies enjoy the capability and flexibility Hams do. These capabilities are why Ham Radio Ops are often the first to provide emergency communications in disaster areas. This is NOT your father's CB Radio. | Real Wireless begins here!
