The 10-year-old boy in me loves a good walkie-talkie. So a couple of years ago I studied hard and passed the federal exam to get a license to play with bigger radios. As I began attending swap meets, field days and club meetings in my area, I got to know more than a few curious, colorful amateur radio operators, or "hams"—I call them Hamateurs. 

The Hamateurs Project is about these hobbyists; the unheralded tinkerers and eccentrics, makers and researchers who continue to expand radio—this “ancient” technology—to new purpose, along with the equally primal need to simply talk to someone.
