Amateur radio, sometimes referred to as ham radio, is a hobby in which FCC Licensed Operators, ("hams") use radio and televsion equipment to communicate with other "amateurs" for public service, recreation and self-training.
Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications when necessary. They also develop their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. Nearly 6 million people throughout the world are involved with amateur radio.
The term "amateur" reflects the principle that Amateur Radio and its skilled operators are committed to helping communities without financial compensation; whereas Commercial Radio operates purely for profit.

Get the amatya mug.Derived from the Arabic god "Al-‘Uzzá", the goddess of fertility, the name Asmaa is meant to symbolise a young and fertile woman ready to be welcomed into the world of polygamy (as is the tradition in Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt or Iraq). In modern terms, the word Asmaa is used to descibe someone who 'sleeps around' or and is thus prone to getting pregnant, hence the god of fertility. It is commonly used by men to describe a girl found to be sleeping with many men.
