Individual amateur \u201cham\u201d radio operators pursue the avocation for personal pleasure through their own, as well as club stations, communications with fellow ham operators globally. They practice electronics, computers, and radio and television wave behavior. Radio amateurs are thus \u201camateurs\u201d in the true sense.<\/p>\n<p>Amateur radio operations can be detected in designated bands throughout the radio spectrum using a variety of modulation methods, including Morse code and image modes, such as television and facsimile \u201cfax\u201d machines. Amateur radio use of the air waves is for personal satisfaction and for forwarding the \u201cstate of the art\u201d of electronics and communications techniques.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the history of amateur radio, enthusiasts have made significant contributions to science, engineering, industry, and social services. Research by amateur radio operators has founded new industries, built economies, empowered nations, and saved lives in times of emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Area residents interested in seeing ham radio in action are invited to the local celebration next weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VW independent\/submitted information The Van Wert Amateur Radio Club, in conjunction with other clubs in the United States, will celebrate the 75th Diamond Anniversary of ham radio.
