Amateur Radio, also known as Ham Radio, is a one-of-a-kind multi-faceted hobby. It allows licensed amateur radio operators to communicate with people all over the world using two way radios. You may think that is Citizen’s Band (CB) Radio or perhaps “walkie-talkies” but there is much more to Amateur Radio.
Ham Radio operators are talking to people thousands of kilometers away without using telephones or the internet. Hams are often called on to assist with communications at various sporting events and sometimes they even help in disaster situations. There is a lot more to the hobby than just talking though.
There are many activities for ham radio operators in South Africa. You may fancy taking part in one or more of the many contests arranged by the South African Radio League (SARL) each year. Or you may like to activate Summits, National Parks or Heritage Sites. When luck permits you can even make contact with an Astronaut on the International Space Station.
Join me on this remarkable journey as I continue to explore, communicate, and celebrate the wonders of amateur radio. Feel free to connect, share experiences, or simply drop by for a conversation across the waves!
