Individuals may pursue an interest in HAM radio to communicate with others around the word while others may find experimenting with radio technology, both emerging and existing, to be the driving force for their interest. Although called "Amateur Radio," there are many HAM operators that are experts in radio communication. It was the original members of HAM radio that discovered and developed much of what is involved in radio communication today, including your "smart" phone and computer wireless technology. HAM operators are allowed many frequency bands across the radio spectrum which are allocated by the FCC. Some ham radio operators use the very reliable Morse code, while others use voice. At one time it was required to study and learn Morse code to get a HAM radio license. This is no longer the case, although Morse code is very useful for emergency communication and still where most contacts are made during the annual Field Day exercise.Part 97 is the section of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations that pertains to amateur radio and the conduct of amateur radio operators. It is a part of the [[FCC Title 47 of the CFR]] (Code of Federal Regulations). All Amateur Radio operations are subject to the Part 97 rules.
