Well, you should better think twice before you say this. When these systems fail (and let's face the truth, they may), Amateur Radio will get your message through. For hams, or radio amateurs, enjoying radio technology is a hobby. But besides that, this is an important service that can help in times of crisis and even help save lives. You probably saw a ham radio operator in a movie, but you should know, ham operators are a varied lot. You can see them as go-getter emergency communicators or as casual chatters. Hams use radios for different purposes - to keep in touch with families and friends, to experiment with radio equipment, or even for emergency situations. They don't use any special equipment. Instead, they make use of all sorts and antennas they have, and they rely on microphones, their voices, Morse keys, cameras, computers, and even their own satellites. Sounds cool, right? Talking to someone using ham radio may seem to be old-fashioned, but think again about this. To tell the truth, it may also be nerve-wracking, but once you start enjoying this hobby, you will never regret it. And once you start creating contacts, you will be after making more and more. Although having some basic knowledge of electricity and electronics may help you, it is not a requirement. After all, you'll see this is not rocket science.
