Facts on Ham Radio

[html] Thought people might be interested in reading some of these facts on Ham Radio. Â I've added it to the links as well so it can be found after this news item is archived. Â Its kind of an Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) which I think would be a good addition to this site for new hams to find out more about what amateur radio is all about.
