Amateur Radio

Many people ask about Amateur radio. Amateur radio (also called Ham Radio) is not “radio broadcasting produced by amateurs.” It is a set of bands that are set aside for two way communication between people with special transcievers.You are not allowed to broadcast on amateur radio- that means you can not transmit for more that two minutes at a time, and there has to be someone on the other side talking back to you. You can’t play music, or use it for business purposes. The same goes for Citizens Band, or CB radio.
