I am a HAM radio operator and have lots of fun.
Radios come in two general flavors HF and VHF/UHF. This has to do with the frequencies that a radio can transmit/receive.
- HF is our long distance device that can literally talk around the world.
- VHF/UHF is our local system frequencies
I have several radios for these various uses.
