A HAM is an amateur radio, it is a wireless communication technology. It brings people, electronics and communication together. Radio amateurs have access to frequency allocations throughout the RF spectrum. This enables communication across a town, region, country, continent, the world, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need. Amateur radio operators are known as technical innovators, and have been responsible for important discoveries. In several countries, amateur radio operators may additionally send, receive, or relay radio communications between computers or transceivers connected to secure virtual private networks on the web. A HAM Radio station can be set up anywhere, at club station or even at home. To operate on radio frequencies one should pass the examination conducted by the FCC(Federal Communications Commission). Amateur Communication is done on various bands from 1.8 MHz to several hundred gigahertz.
