800MHz is a commercial band. The closest ham bands to it are from 902MHz to 928MHz.
Frequency = speed/wavelength = 300,000,000/2 = 150,000,000 = 150 MHz. (The ham-radio band from 144 to 148 MHz is usually called the "two-meter band".)
80-meter (3.5 MHz) CW
The frequency can't be 30 Mhz 30 Mhz is a ham radio frequency but to calculate the wavelength, devide 300 by the frequency in Mhz that will give you 10 meters (300/ƒ)
That takes me back! I earned my first 'ham' operator's license in 1956, and the '11-meter' amateur band still existed at 27 MHz. But not for long after that. In 1958 the Class D CB service was moved to 27 MHz, and this band became what is now popularly known as 'CB'. There were only 23 channels at the time ... 22 from the former amateur 11-meter band, and channel 23 was shared with radio-controlled devices. Some hobbyists continue to use the designation "11 meters" to refer to the Citizens' Band and adjoining frequencies. Beginning in the 1970s, Part 95 of the Code of Federal Regulations regulated the Class D CB service, on the 27 MHz band.

Some amateur radio operators regularly communicate with each other by reflecting their signals off of the moon, so we know that amateur radio communication is possible over distances of at least a half-million miles ... something like 19 times the distance around the earth We don't know how much farther it might work, because there aren't any hams out there to talk to.
A 'kicker' is an illegally modified linear amp for a 10 meter ham radio, reconfigured to work with the 11 meter band.
The clearest, most convenient way to describe positions on the electromagnetic spectrum is in terms of frequency. So you've already categorized your particular signal in the most useful terms. Relative to other, recognizable, familiar stops along the spectrum, 1.729 MHz is just slightly outside the top of the commercial AM broadcast band ... a little higher than the highest-frequency AM radio station you'll ever hear, simply because AM radio frequency assignments stop at 1.7 MHz. These days, 1.729 MHz is now a rather low radio frequency. It's not even "short wave", and it's below the lowest frequency allocated to "ham" radio operation. Compared to weather radar, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, short-wave broadcast, microwave, MRI, and cellular telephone, 1.729 MHz is totally horse-and-buggy radio.
You may have a Ham radio antenna anywhere in the US, unless there are restrictions as to its placement, such as in a condo or apartment. If you meant a Ham radio transmitter, then you must have a Ham license to operate it.
HamSphere is a virtual shortwave band for Ham Radio operators and radio enthusiasts. The system is based on natural laws of communication and can be used for both Amateur Radio training purposes and pure QSOing.
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. But we still don't know the origin of the word HAM.
Bad ham radio. Bad !
