HAM Radio Station

At the Indian Red Cross Society, Rajkot we are committed to ensuring that no disaster or emergency leaves communities disconnected. Our HAM Radio Station, operated under the guidelines of the Amateur Radio Service, serves as a vital communication link when all conventional systems fail.

Stay Connected When It Matters Most

HAM Radio, also known as Amateur Radio Service, plays a vital role in emergency and disaster communication when all other systems fail. It is a volunteer-driven, non-commercial radio service that enables individuals to establish wireless communication networks, ensuring critical connectivity during crises.

Why HAM Radio?

During natural disasters, wars, or large-scale power and network outages, conventional communication channels may collapse. In such times, HAM Radio becomes a lifeline—providing reliable communication for relief efforts and connecting affected communities.
