'K' is the prosign for 'over.'
It means radio operations that are done as a hobby, or in the use of public service. Operators cannot (by law) earn money or material reward in any way, for the use of the radio. When we say Amateur radio/ Ham Radio these all sound same. There is very few authentic info about Amateur or HAM names, but i have read from very authentic version "radiosguide". They explain all the philosophy of amateur radio origin.
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.
That would be hard to say because I do not know where your location is. The best thing to do is research how many radio operator jobs are nearby to your location and see if they are hiring.
The same: Amateur.
Microwaves. actually these are Microwave frequencies rather than Short Wave in, say the amateur radio sense.
Many say that the Radio operator for Caifornia had gone to bed, therefore there was no one to hear the distress messages from Titanic
There is a big debate about this. Some people say Marconi invented what became radio. Some people say it was Tesla. In America, a number of amateur radio fans designed and then built their own radios, as far back as 1901-5. It is difficult to say who was the first to do so, since the state of the art evolved gradually. But by the 1910s, there were radio manufacturing companies selling the parts needed to make a radio, and by the early 1920s, there were manufacturers selling completely assembled radios.

Broadcasting licenses are granted or issued by the FCC. I assume you mean commercial broadcasting, heady stuff- look at the advertising requirements! there is such as thing as Amateur TV, but it requires a legit Ham license to begin with, code proficiency I am not sure this would apply to ham TV, no commercial applications ( including say songcasts or impromptu concerts) are permitted on either Amateur ( Ham) radio or television. these rules are enforced.
I would say beginner and amateur.
Say It on the Radio was created in 2010.
If you mean a station that broadcast regularly and was heard by a local audience and even took requests, that may describe the amateur radio station put on the air circa 1910 by Charles "Doc" Herrold and his wife Sybil at the Herrold College of Wireless in San José, California. Most scholars believe this was just an experiment, however, and they say the first station went on the air in 1920. Some say it was 8MK (today WWJ) in Detroit, while others say it was KDKA in Pittsburgh. But in either case, 1920 seems to have been the year when radio as we know it emerged in a handful of U.S. cities.
