Amateur Radio is a community of people that use Radio transmitters and receivers to communicate with other Amateur Radio operators. The actions that amateur radio operators do with their radios are as diverse as the people themselves.

Amateur Radio operators are often called HAM Radio Operators or simply “HAMs” (The origin of this nickname is for all practical purpose. Although some people still speculate about, few agree and even few care. Amateur Radio operators proudly call themselves HAMs). There are about 20,000 HAM’s in India.

Amateur (HAM) Radio is both a hobby and service. It is an activity of self learning, Inter-Communication & Technical Investigation carried on the duly authorized persons (i.e. Amateur Radio Operators) for a personal aim and without pecuniary interest. There are over 50 lakh people all over the world who pursue this activity in their free time. In India we have around 20,000 Amateur Radio Operators.

Amateur Radio Operators have to qualify an examination conducted by Ministry of Communication, Government of India and obtain license for operation/ processing a Radio Station.

Amateur Radio Operators in their free time use their radio stations and conduct two way communications and exchange, cultural, personal, technical information with other amateurs not only with in India but all over the world. The two way communications using Radio Transmitters, receivers, antennae can be either though voice, Morse Code, Digital (Video and Data) or through Satellite.
