       The history of amateur radio, dates from the dawn of radio
       communications, with published instructions for building simple
       wireless sets appearing at the beginning of the twentieth
       century.[1] Throughout its history, amateur radio enthusiasts
       have made significant contributions to science, engineering,
       industry, and social services. Research by amateur radio
       operators has founded new industries,[2] built economies,[3]
       empowered nations,[4] and saved lives[5] in times of emergency.
       Amateur radio is a hobby and, by law, completely non-commercial.
       Individual amateur "ham" radio operators pursue the avocation
       for personal pleasure through building their own radio stations
       and communicating with their fellows globally, and for
       self-improvement via study and practice of electronics,
       computers, and radio and TV wave behavior. Radio amateurs are,
       thus, "amateurs" in the true sense of the word: pursuit of an
       activity only for the love of it. Radio amateurs can not
       broadcast or transmit music and other general public
       entertainment programming. The amateur radio use of the air
       waves is for personal satisfaction and for forwarding the "state
       of the art" of electronics and communication techniques. Amateur
       radio operations can be detected in designated bands throughout
       the radio spectrum, using a variety of modulation methods
       including Morse code, voice and digital modes, and image modes
       such as television and facsimile. :o :o :o :o..
