Ham Radio: Getting the message for your family and community

Amateur Radio, often called "ham radio", has consistently been the most reliable means of communications in emergencies when other systems failed or were overloaded. Hams meet on the air and in person, and there are about 630,000 hams in the USA with ham radio clubs and gatherings all over the country. Hams communicate using microphones, telegraph or Morse code keys, computers, TV cameras and even their own satellites.

Please check out the information below about how Ham Radio works, getting your own radio license, and how to join an Emergency Communications Group.
