Amateur "HAM" Radio
Amateur radio, often called Ham radio, is a hobby enjoyed by about six million people throughout the world. An amateur radio operator, also known as a ham radio amateur, uses advanced radio equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.
I am currently a licensed "General" class Amateur radio operator. For the last 20 years I operated on the "VHF" and "UHF" bands in the Maryland area. My current interest is in APRS, I operate an APRS Digipeter (you can find it here) , as well as an APRS rig in all my vehicles and my boat.
Since upgrading to General class (April 2007) I have discovered HF and Digital operation.
