Welcome to the diverse group of individuals who make up Amateur Radio! There are nearly
700,000
amateurs, or"hams,"
in the United States alone and
Foreword
3,000,000
around the world. Hams come from all walks of life, all ages and every continent.
Harns
are
busily communicating without regard to the geographic and political barriers that often separate humanity. This
is the power of Amateur Radio - to communicate with each other directly, without any other commercial or government
systems.
Amateur Radio was born along with radio itself. Marconi, the father of radio, considered himself"an amateur'' and many
of the wireless technologies and systems we take for granted today had their origins in the workshops and imaginations of
amateurs. Governments make room for Amateur Radio when valuable radio spectrum is allocated because they know and
respect the flexibility and inventiveness of hams, as well as the amateur's legendary ability to innovate and adapt in the face
of emergencies and disasters.
Hams came to Amateur Radio from many walks of life and many interests. Perhaps you intend to provide emergency
communications for yourself and your community. Technical experimentation might be your interest or you might
be
one
of the burgeoning "do-it-yourself' community, discovering the pleasures of building, testing, using and learning. Making
new friends via the radio, keeping in touch as you travel or exploring where a wireless signal can take you - these are all
valuable and valued parts of the Amateur service.
A time-honored ham tradition is that of helping newcomers learn about the ways and skills of Amateur Radio. These
helpers - known as "Eimers" by other hams -
are
everywhere. You are almost certainly near another ham and probably
an entire ham radio club! They'll gladly help you get started. There's more information in Chapter
I
about connecting with
them. If you need assistance, the staff here at ARRL Headquarters will be more than happy to help, too.
As you read this book, getting ready to pass your first ham radio licensing exam, you will find that there is a lot more
material than just the answers to exam questions. That's the ARRL way of going the extra mile to help you learn about
Amateur Radio."Of, By and For the Amateur" is the ARRL's motto. By providing this extra information, we help you learn
the "why" behind each question so that you are prepared when ready to get on the air. Keep this book handy as a reference
to help you understand how ham radio "works" and you'll have more fun and
be
a more effective operator.
Most active radio amateurs in the United States are ARRL members. They realize that since
1914,
the ARRL's training,
sponsorship of activities and representation both nationally and internationally are second to none. The book you're read­
ing now,
The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual
is just one of many publications for all levels and interests in Amateur
Radio. You don't need a license to join the ARRL - just
be
interested in Amateur Radio and we are interested in you. It's
as simple as that!
