Amateur radio, often called 'Ham radio', is both a hobby and a service that uses various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for Public services, recreation and self-training. A participant is called an 'Amateur Radio Operator', or a 'Ham'.

Amateur radio operators have personal wireless communications with friends, family members, and even complete strangers, and often support their communities with emergency and disaster communications while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. Amateur radio operators are even able to use satellites and on occasion speak with astronauts. An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.

The term "amateur" is not a reflection on the skills of the participants, which are often quite advanced; rather, "amateur" indicates that amateur radio communications are not allowed to be made for commercial or money-making purposes. In all countries, amateur radio operators are required to pass a licensing exam displaying knowledge and understanding of key concepts. In return, hams are granted operating privileges to segments of the radio frequency spectrum using a variety of communication techniques.
