Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service that uses various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training. A participant is called an amateur radio operator, or a ham.

Amateur radio operators enjoy personal wireless communications with each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary, while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.

The term "amateur" is not a reflection on the skills of the participants, which are often quite advanced; rather, "amateur" indicates that amateur radio communications are not allowed to be made for commercial or money-making purposes.

My History in ham radio

I have been involved in some way with ham radio my whole life. Be it when I visited my uncle(WA7TBH)in Phoenix or my departed brother(N5SMM, N5RLK) when he wasn’t out doing something with the military. My father(KB5VWV)became licensed in Nov. '92, and I became licensed in Sept.'93 at the Ruidoso Hamfest. In my senior year of high school, I managed to establish a radio club, having weekly meetings. At the school, I ran the Santa Fe area packet bbs on 145.01 and 145.05. I moved to Missouri for a brief period and joined the Warrensburg Amateur Radio Club. At the Warrensburg Hamfest, I sat for my code certificate, I passed. I raced home to call my brother to tell him the good news, but he was unavailable. 14 days later he past away due injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident. I moved back to NM, went to the Socorro Hamfest and got my general. I was increasing my licensure to be able to talk to my brother but now I can not. So now below is a list of things I am doing currently.
