Ham Radio

Ham radio, also known as amateur radio, has a rich history in Utah, with the first amateur radio club established in 1927. Today, ham radio continues to be a popular hobby and service that involves using radio frequencies for non-commercial communication, experimentation, and self-training. 

 People use ham radio in a variety of ways, including:   

Contesting: Hams participate in competitions to contact as many other stations as possible within a specific time period.

DXing: Hams seek to contact stations in distant countries and regions.

Public service events: Hams provide communication support for marathons, races, and other community events.
