The best place to get started getting your ham license is to go to www.arrl.org look in the dark blue header for Classes then fill in your zipcode and you are on your way. The Classes area will show you the time and place for the next set of License Classes and that's it. The friendly hams at the meeting will be glad to help you obtain your license.

What is amateure?
The word amateur comes from the Latin "amat" meaning he (or she !) loves. An amateur is a person who does something for the love of it, not because he has to or makes money at it. He is usually knowledgeable, often beyond the level of many professionals; every amateur was a beginner once, but it doesn't last long! -------- Since this question is in amateur radio, the answer should be specific to the "amateur" in "amateur radio." In this case, it means that the amateur radio operator cannot use radio for pay or profit. --------- Amateur radio operators have invented almost every type of electronic communication protocol that has ever been used. They are very good at what they do! Some people confuse amateur radio operators with citizen's band (CB) operators... CB operators are not required to be licensed nor know anything about radio communication... where-as, amateur radio operators must pass a Federal Government written test about electronics, radio control and operation, along with the rules and regulations set forth by the FCC. Amateur radio operators are the 'professionals' in non-paid electronic communications, electronic and satellite development and emergency communication.

yes a license is required, for example most of the time to be a radio operate you must know the aeronautical alphabet, alpha bravo charlie, to be able to communicate with others. ----------------------------- by GBaughma: For amateur radio, there is a lot that you should know, including FCC regulations, radio theory, electronics, allowed frequencies, and so forth. Being a HAM (Amateur) Radio operator is a lot of fun, and can involve you with the community as well, such as RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) and ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service). If all the communications were to go out in the world; no phones, satellites, etc. HAM radio operators could still get messages through. It's an exciting, and gratifying hobby. 73!

What the does the term ham radio mean in amateur radio?
Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.[1] Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications with each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary, while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.[2] The term "amateur" is not a reflection on the skills of the participants, which are often quite advanced; rather, "amateur" indicates that amateur communications are not allowed to be made for commercial or money-making purposes.

What is amateur radio?
Amateur radio or ham radio as it is also known is two-way radio transmissions which are sent by voice, Morse code, or even by computers. You need a license to transmit on the amateur bands (radio frequencies) which are controlled by government departments and various radio organizations throughout the world. There are hundreds of web sites with additional information and how to obtaining a license in most countries. like you can say in USA the Stryker radios are top in the market of amateur radios.
Is amateur radio dying out?
No, it is not dying out. in fact, with the growth of the Internet, it has become accessible to a wider range of people and the opposite is in fact true. it has even become incredibly easy to set up. all you need is radio automation software (Eg. Mixxx), Lame Encoder, and a server. just go to caster beta and you will find all the instructions, and its all free. it is now only costing people as much as the Internet costs to stream it all. In my opinion, Amateur radio is fading because of the Internet, and other forms of communication that do not require a license. The simple truth is that the only fading is with appliance operators, glorified CB users with a license. Those numbers are fading, but not fast enough. The true radio amateur is an operator for life. There is much more to amateur radio than simple talk. Streaming over the Internet is not amateur radio, even though many use it. When conditions warrant, you will see the true amateur radio operators handling emergency communication, supplementing our local government emergency communication's. The internet will not be anywhere in site when that happens.
