The History of Amateur Radio

 


A U.S. Postage Stamp from 1964, commemorating amateur radio.

Throughout history, Amateur Radio has made significant contributions to science, engineering, industry, and social services. Research done by amateur radio operators has founded new industries, built economies, empowered nations, and saved lives in times of emergency.

 

What is Amateur Radio:

§ FCC Part 97.1 Basis and purpose.

The rules and regulations in this part are designed to provide an amateur radio service having a fundamental purpose as expressed in the following principles:

(a) Recognition and enhancement of the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communication service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications.

(b) Continuation and extension of the amateur’s proven ability to contribute to the advancement of the radio art.

(c) Encouragement and improvement of the amateur service through rules which provide for advancing skills in both the communication and technical phases of the art.

(d) Expansion of the existing reservoir within the amateur radio service of trained operators, technicians, and electronics experts.

(e) Continuation and extension of the amateur’s unique ability to enhance international goodwill.

How to Become a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator:

Licenses are issued by the FCC to individuals in order to operate an amateur radio station for personal use, of any age, and free of charge, once they demonstrate an understanding of both FCC regulations, knowledge of radio station operation and RF safety considerations. Operator licenses are divided into different classes, each of which correlate to an increasing degree of knowledge and corresponding privileges.

  • Technician - The license grants individuals full operating privileges on all amateur bands above 30 MHz and limited privileges in portions of the high frequency bands.

  • General - The licensees are granted full operating privileges on all amateur bands above 30 MHz and more frequency privileges than a Technician in all the high frequency bands.

  • Extra - Those with Amateur Extra licenses are granted full privileges on all US amateur bands.

For many years, amateur radio operators were required by international agreement to demonstrate Morse Code proficiency in order to use frequencies below 30 MHz. In 2003 the World Radio Communications Conference (WRC) met in Geneva, Switzerland, and voted to allow member countries of the International Telecommunications Union to eliminate Morse Code testing if they so wished .

So on December 15 2006, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a Report and Order eliminating all Morse code testing requirements for all American Amateur Radio License applicants, which took effect February 23, 2007.

Amateur radio licenses are issued and renewed without charge here in the US by the FCC, although the private individuals who administer the examinations may recoup their expenses by charging a small fee. Licenses remain valid for 10 years from the date of issuance. For more information;
