Amateur Radio is a hobby practiced by millions all over the world. It generally involves, communicating with others practicing the hobby using some kind of wireless transmitter and receiver. Communication can be using short wave, morse code, a computer hooked up with your equipment, Amateur Radio Satellites,... Communication may be with someone a few blocks away from your house or on the other side of the globe or someone from outerspace travelling in a spaceship or space station. Amateur Radio is regulated by international agreements and government rules. It is most probably the only hobby which needs a license from the government !
