Most of what I know, I learned from amateur radio. It lead to a long career in broadcast engineering and plasma physics!

I live in Singapore. Amateur radio seems to be unheard of here.

 

Far as I know it is international, covered by a host of treaties. Needless to say, most Communist countries disapproved during the cold war, amature radio is nothing if not for the freedom of information. HAM radio is a nickname, have you googled "amature radio" for your country?

 

Hit,

Even during the height of the Cold War there were many many ham operators in Russia that would QSL with hams all over the world. Many hams from other communist countries also. Not sure about N. Korea or China but maybe some OM operator here can let us know

But personal computer and the internet has taken a real hit on ham radio and I'm sure it's population of operators is down from it's peak.
