Who is the Typical Ham?

Amateur Radio operators come from all walks of life -- movie stars, missionaries, doctors, students, politicians, truck drivers and even your average neighbor next door. They are of all ages, sexes, income levels and nationalities. They say "Hello" to the world in many languages and many ways. Whether they prefer Morse code on an old brass telegraph key, voice communication on a hand-held radio, or computerized messages transmitted via satellite, they all have an interest in what is happening in the world, and they use radio to reach out.

Anyone you know could be an Amateur Radio operator or "ham" --no matter what age, gender, or physical ability. Wait until you see what you can do with ham radio!
