Amateur radio, is a noncommercial, licensed system of communication, and is as old as the medium of radio itself. Ham radio is a hobby to most participants, but hams are best known for the emergency communications they provide during disasters. Hams are licensed by their government to communicate both domestically and internationally on a wide variety of radio bands.

Are you interested in making new friends wherever you go? Would you like to talk without having to worry about roaming, overage, or other cell-phone charges? Would you like the security to know that you can call out for help no matter where you are, or what disaster has happened? Then ham radio might just be for you. Click HERE to find out more information on how to get started. Have you been studying for your license? Come to our next test session at the Peters Township Library. Click HERE for more information.

Please take the time to explore this site, and the many activities of the Wireless Association of South Hills. Email webmaster@n3sh.org with any suggestions, good or bad, content to add (especially upcoming events), photos and what ever you like
