Introduction to HAM Radio

Learn about the king of communication – Ham Radio. STORMS.....FLOODS....FIRE....RESCUE AND MORE! Ham Radio is there to provide primary communications when all else fails!

When this happens Ham radio operators are called in to re-establish vital communication links using their own equipment, knowledge, skills and training to provide these most valuable services to the public and our government! Hams can put together a complete radio station out in the middle of no where far from the nearest power pole. They are capable of transmitting around the world with very modest equipment. Come learn what being a HAM is all about whether your interest is for hobby or for the greater good.
