Amateur radio: It can be more than just a hobby

WORLD Amateur Radio Day was celebrated on April 18. I would like to extend my greetings to fellow Malaysian amateur radio operators. Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is a popular activity and service across the globe.

Some of my younger friends only vaguely know what I mean when I say I’m an amateur radio operator, while most are completely at a loss and tell me they have never heard of such a thing.
