Ham radio is more popular than ever, with over 700,000 licensed operators in the US and over 2 million worldwide. While some may think of ham radio as old technology, it actually incorporates many modern technologies like digital signal processing, Raspberry Pi applications, digital modes, and integration with the internet. Hams engage in a variety of activities, including communicating via Morse code, voice, digital modes, building antennas and equipment, public service, contests, working to contact operators in distant locations, and pursuing certificates. Getting a ham radio license is accessible, with three classes of licenses and no code requirement. There are also many local ham radio clubs that offer classes and operating events.
