What is Amateur Radio?
Amateur radio, also known as “ham radio”, is a hobby about experimenting and communicating using not only radio, but a range of technologies including satellites, the internet and even beams of light!
In New Zealand hams are licensed by the Radio Radio Spectrum Management (RSM). Once licensed, an amateur can operate two-way radio equipment from home, from vehicles and from anywhere in New Zealand and in many cases when overseas too.

There are around 80 local branches across New Zealand, where you will find enthusiasts keen to help and guide you. Most branches will be also able to support you through the process of gaining your license and administer the required exams.
