Hyderabad celebrates World Amateur Radio Day

April 18 was World Amateur Radio Day and the *Telangana Today*newspaper
spoke to some radio hams in Hyderabad to understand why they took up this
hobby

The newspaper story says:

Radio is one of the most common forms of entertainment and has been so for
decades now. If you’re reading this, it is highly likely that you would
have listened to a radio at least once; but, did you know you can also
broadcast radio instead of just being a listener?

Yes, that is what amateur radio aka HAM radio is all about. This popular
hobby uses radio frequency spectrum for purposes like communication,
recreation, experimenting, and more. In fact, licensed amateur radio
operators or HAMs as they are called, are the reason behind many
developments in present communication technologies as their tinkering and
experimenting are what led to some developments.

Any person over the age of 12 can obtain a HAM licence and be an amateur
radio operator aka HAM. HAMs can communicate with other HAMs all over the
world and even communicate with astronauts in the International Space
Station.

Also, HAM radio is extremely useful during natural calamities and disasters
as when all conventional systems of communication fail, HAM radios still
work and the emergency handling potential of HAM operators has been
consistently demonstrated in every major natural disaster.

April 18 is World Amateur Radio Day, as it was on this day in 1925 that the
International Amateur Radio Union was formed in Paris. To celebrate the
occasion, we spoke to some HAM operators from Hyderabad on why they took up
a hobby that’s not so common and what continues to drive them in its
pursuit.

Among those interviewed are Entrepreneur Sanjay Nekkanti VU3ISS, Director
of National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR) S Ram Mohan VU2MYH,
Doctor-turned-businessman Polsani Sudhakar Rao VU2SH, Advocate Ramesh
Kuthumbaka VU3FTP, student Tom K Jose VU2TO and student Koduri Nagasainath
VU3JVW.
