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.
Is Ham radio and amateur radio is same?
Yes Ham Radio and Amateur Radio are same. Amateur and Ham radio operators use two-way radio stations from their homes, cars, boats and outdoors to make hundreds of friends around town and around the world. They communicate with each other using voice, computers, and Morse code. Some hams bounce their signals off the upper regions of the atmosphere, so they can talk with hams on the other side of the world. Other hams use satellites. Many use hand-held radios that fit in their pockets.

What year did amateur radio start?
The government did not take up seriously the licensing and control of amateur and commercial radio operators- all this was in Code then, until about l00 years ago. There was something called the Roberts Bill. Popular electronics writer- and also a Science fiction man- Hugo Gernsback manufactured amateur radio gear and took up the cause of the Amateur- in a very real sense he can be called one of the founding fathers. Naturally, he used his magazines ( Modern Electrics, was one) as a , well repeater circuit. this was around l9ll or so. It fell under the department of commerce- the maritime section- as there were and are many Marine operators- catapulted into the news by the Titanic disaster a year or so later! It should be noted- emergency prepardedness aside- Ham operators were NOT directly involved in the Titanic disaster or rescue attempts and message traffic connected with it. SOS indeed!

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.
