Raadioamatuühing

Raadioamatuühing is a term that can refer to amateur radio organizations or the act of engaging in amateur radio in Estonia. Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is a hobby that allows individuals to communicate with other radio enthusiasts worldwide using radio frequencies. Licensed amateur radio operators use their equipment to make contact, exchange messages, and participate in various activities like emergency communications and contesting.

In Estonia, a national organization known as the Estonian Radio Amateurs' Union (Eesti Raadioamatööride Ühing) is the primary body representing amateur radio interests. This organization works to promote amateur radio, coordinate activities, and represent Estonian hams internationally. They often organize events, provide training and licensing support, and advocate for the hobby's continued access to radio spectrum.

Amateur radio operators in Estonia, like elsewhere, must obtain a license from the relevant national authority after passing an examination. This license permits them to operate on designated radio frequencies and transmit using specific call signs. The hobby involves technical knowledge of radio equipment and propagation, as well as communication skills. It can range from simple voice communication to more complex digital modes and satellite communication.
