The term ‘ham’ has unknown origin although there are several theories.

The humble radio has been a great source of entertainment for well over a century, since Thomas Edison filed patents for early radio technology we have used radios as early news services, audio plays, call in discussion shows and obviously music. In the days before Televisions whole families would nightly gather round the radio, or wireless as it was referred to in the 1930s to enjoy entertainment especially during the two World Wars.

These days the radio is still a mainstay in most households, whilst TVs added pictures to the sounds we listened to on the radio there are still people who enjoy listening to either spoken word or music on the radio. If people don’t listen to the radio at home anymore then there’s a high chance that they will in their cars where radios still rule, partially because it is too dangerous to watch TV in the car!

Modern music is typically listened to on MP3 players and CD players and so sometimes people may have not been able to get a good enough reception, making the radio sound terribly scratchy or interfered by static. Luckily there are now DAB radios which use a digital signal to provide excellent sound quality as well as a greater choice of stations and programmes to listen to.
