  • What is Ham Radio?

    Style notes:

  • "Amateur Radio" is the formal name of the FCC radio service, so initial caps are used.
  • The word "ham" is not an acronym and is never capitalized.
  • "Amateur Radio Emergency Service" and "ARES" are both registered trademarks of ARRL, Inc.
  • "American Radio Relay League" and "ARRL" are both registered trademarks of ARRL, Inc.

    • Individual ham radio operators working with an agency are not authorized to comment on that agency's activities or the specifics of our operations on their behalf, only in general terms about ARES efforts. Please contact the agency's public information officer for agency-specific information.
