The Ham Shack

1998
This is a nice page that introduces the hobby of amateur radio, also called "ham radio." The web site does a thorough job of explaining what amateur radio is, the equipment needed, the language employed when talking over a ham radio, and what the various terms mean. Operating an amateur radio station is a licensed activity with federal guidelines, but don't worry, you can find out all about that at this site!
