Persons who for the love of radio operations and not for profitable gain, have developed them to the point they have reached today. One of the more prevalent groups of amateur radio operators of today are better known as Hams. The propagation characteristics and type of equipment necessary for their utilization have to a large degree, controlled the nature of the made among long assignments t, ship to shore, range broadcasting, military and amateur services.

In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission came into being in about 1922. In nations other than the United States, restrictions are much higher. Although regulations may be more lenient in the U.S., a policing action is going on all the time ham operators as among the well as citizen operators. This is for the protection of the operators themselves, as well as keep unlicensed personnel or bootleggers off the air, and to ban together all operators. This policing action is conducted on a local level as well as national. Ham operators, free to operate on radio bands that have been for thsi purpose, must be able to pass code and theory tests before receiving their licenses. After obtaining their licenses, that are good for five years, operators are required to keep a log of all radio contacts and operations. Of the 180,000 ham operators on the air today, about thirty of them are living in Kearns at the present time. The amateur radio operator is a person who likes to experiment with his set to devise ways of obtaining maximum efficiency. Such radio operations have become a booming past time among the handicapped persons. The amateur of years ago had to make and devise all of his equipment. Many operators today may purchase ready made equipment or kits, by which to set up operations. Many have learned through experience, various methods of radio mechanics that they pass on to fellow operators to aid them in efficiency. In many cases where other sources of radio communications fail, the hams can usually come through. This has been proved in cases of emergency. At the time of the Yellowstone earthquake, the only outside contact was that of a ham operator in the park area alo-cat- Attending the presentation of certificate of merit are L. to R.

His pleasure is mostly in contacting operators in far away places. The expense the radio operator puts out, depends largely upon whether he purchases all of the equipment or constructs it himself. The cost may run from $300 up to $1,200.
