Amateur Radio, Why?|How?

Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need.

Although Amateur Radio operators get involved for many reasons, they all have in common a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles, and pass an examination for the WPC license to operate on radio frequencies known as the "Amateur Bands." These bands are radio frequencies allocated by the Wireless Planning Commission (WPC) for use by ham radio operators.

RASA encourages young people to explore the wide range of experiences and activities available to them through amateur radio.

We help people to get their licenses and also assist them technically to build or setup their radios, antennas, test instruments and so on.
