Would you like to become a licensed Amateur Ham Radio Operator?

For more than 100 years men and women , including many young persons, have made their amateur radio dreams come true by learning about amateur radio, and becoming a licensed operator. The term “Ham Radio,” a popular term for amateur radio, is derived from "ham" as an informal name for an amateur radio operator in the early 1900’s.
