HAM RADIO FREQUENCIES AND INFORMATION

Amateur (Ham) Radio Frequency Table

This information is presented for people that are NOT hams, or amateur radio operators, that want to know something about the frequencies that hams are legally allowed to use. Hams are required to know this in order to get an amateur license, or ticket as a license is called, to operate a transmitter.

MORSE CODE IS NO LONGER REQUIRED TO GET A FCC HAM RADIO LICENSE. However, hams who know Morse Code can and do still operate with CW (continuous wave) or Morse Code. At the present there are three classes of license, TECHNICIAN, GENERAL, AND EXTRA being issued by the FCC.

If you are interested in getting a FCC licnse come to the Southern Ohio Amateur Radio Association (SOARA) -- Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) meetings the third Monday of every month and we will help you. The meetings are at 7:00 P.M. and held in the rear room of the 911/EMA building, 515 Park Ave., Ironton, OH. All hams and interested people are welcome.
