Amateur Radio is a unique, fascinating and friendly hobby that captivates the interest of millions of people around the world.
It encompasses a huge range of activities; Its main activity is communication, by radio signals principally, by voice or other
modes (i.e. Morse code, data, fast/slow scan TV and lots more) with other amateurs worldwide. Amateurs can talk to the International
Space Station using the latest digital technology. We can also become highly trained in our own particular radio interests.
It has traditionally provided a useful starting point for people wanting to go into Engineering, IT, and Communications. Radio
Amateurs credentials look good on any young (or even not-so-young) persons CV.
It develops life-long friendships, often world-wide, perhaps travel opportunities through these friendships.
It helps to integrate young and old, skilled and less-skilled, in a mutual interest, which crosses every boundary imaginable.
Many Radio Amateurs are working at the cutting edge of radio communications technology whilst others prefer just to tinker
with old radios.
Internet also has its role to play in Amateur Radio.
