During the first fifty years of the twentieth century, ham radio went 
from being an experiment to virtually an art form. Because of the few 
government restrictions and the low monetary investment required, the 
concept of ham radio appealed to various people. More than just a simple 
hobby, however, ham radio required its operators to understand radio 
theory, be able to trace a schematic and know how to build a transmitter 
and receiver with whatever material they might have available. With the 
advent of World War II and the increased need for cutting-edge 
communications, the United States government drew upon the considerable 
knowledge and skill of these amateur ham radio operators, validating the 
fact that ham radio was here to stay. During the first fifty years of

government drew upon the knowledge and skill of these amateur ham radio 
operators. This book explores the history of ham radio operators, 
emphasizing their social history and their many contributions to the 
technological development of worldwide communications. It traces the 
concept of relays, including the American Radio Relay League, from 
contacts as close as 25 miles apart to operators anywhere in the world. 
The book highlights the part played by ham radio in many of the headline 
events of the half century, especially exploration and aviation 
"firsts". The ways in which these primarily amateur operators assisted 
in times of disaster including such events as the sinking of the 
/Titanic/ and the 1937 Ohio River flood, are also examined.During the
