What is Amateur
Radio?
The wonderful world of
Amateur Radio Welcome to
the wonderful world of Amateur Radio. It is many
different things to the individual three million
plus people throughout the world who enjoy this
multi-faceted communications hobby. Amateurs
communicate with each other by transmitting
voice, Morse code, digital modes, pictures and
even video signals.
The image of Amateur radio has long since
transcended the ‘older’ bearded individual who
sits in a room filled with big black boxes full
of glass tubes glowing in the dark while talking
to people in a strange language. The sound of
strange beeps from a brass key used to complete
this picture. While this can still be seen, a
brave new world of Amateur Radio has now
emerged.
New Amateur
Radio
Today’s Amateur Radio is a world of modern
communication and experimentation and has had a
new lease of life since the regulations were
changed in 2005 to remove Morse code and create
the new “Foundation License”. Since then, the
hobby has been rejuvenated and has been taken up
by many young children and others who in the
past would never have been able to participate.
The modern Amateur is a person whose life has
seen the impact of Internet, Television, Ipods
and the Space Age. The modern amateur has also
evolved with digital radios and modern methods
of communication while still retaining the
classic appeal of the “wireless”. It is a hobby
that has survived the industrial revolution and
the electronics age and continues to grow with a
unique appeal.
