Amateur Radio is a popular hobby that has been around in some form or another since the 1890’s, when radio waves were adapted into a communication system by the Italian inventor, Guglielmo Marconi.

Ever-changing technology has enabled Amateur Radio to move into the digital world through Software- defined radio (SDR), Internet Radio Linking Project (IRLP), JT65, FT8 and even EchoLink that can be used either on a computer or an App on a cell phone.

Ham Radio operators not only use their radios for contacting other Hams both locally and around the world, but provide assistance during disasters such as power failures, flooding, fires, earthquakes, etc.
