Ham radio makes handicaps invisable! There is no clue that the ham you are
chatting with on radio-teletype is hearing impaired. The control operator of a
network of hams around the world may be a quadriplegic. The type of disability
may determine the ham's favorite mode of operation, but, there will be something
of interest for everyone. If the Morse code requirement is a barrier to a
handicapped person upgrading to a higher class of ham license, the requirement
CAN BE WAIVED BY A MEDICAL DOCTOR! If you or someone you know has a disability
or a sensory impairment, the
Courage HANDI-HAM System
is ready and waiting to help you become a ham. This organization has been
around since 1967 and is well known for its good work. For further information
