Ham radios are a form of amateur radio that anyone can use. The true origin of the term "ham" seems to have been lost, but there are several theories. It may be a shortcut way of saying the first syllable of amateur radio or it may have originally been used simply as an insult. Hams start out in amateur radio for many reasons, but no matter what they all have a basic knowledge of radio technology and regulations in common. It is a group of people who are world wide and communicate through wireless networking.
