Some amateur radio operators regularly communicate with each other by reflecting
their signals off of the moon, so we know that amateur radio communication is possible
over distances of at least a half-million miles ... something like 19 times the distance
around the earth
We don't know how much farther it might work, because there aren't any hams out there
to talk to.
You may have a Ham radio antenna anywhere in the US, unless there are restrictions as to its placement, such as in a condo or apartment. If you meant a Ham radio transmitter, then you must have a Ham license to operate it.
A 'kicker' is an illegally modified linear amp for a 10 meter ham radio, reconfigured to work with the 11 meter band.
Well, yes. They couldn't work if they didn't emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves.
Impedance is not unique to ham radio and applies to all electronics. Impedance is a property of electrical circuits that can impede the current from flowing.
The primary function of ham radio is to provide amateur radio personalities and opportunity to showcase their effervescent characteristics. Apparently, specific equipment is needed to produce quality sound and to prevent feedback.

There is no scientist named Ham in ham radio. The term was first an insult, like "ham-fisted" (clumsy) or "ham actor" (bad stage actor). Then the radio operators decided to take the name as a source of pride, and found three radio pioneers to say it was named for: The H is for Heinrich Hertz, who did a lot of work with radio frequency energy and for whom the measurement of frequency is named. The A is for Major Edwin Armstrong, who invented frequency modulation. Apparently no one else was available because FM wasn't a popular mode in the amateur service when they borrowed his name. The M is for Guglielmo Marconi, who invented the radio.
Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training. But we still don't know the origin of the word HAM.
As far as I know, there is no "optical radio telescope". There are, separately, optical telescopes (which work with visible light), and radio telescopes (which work with radio waves).
Bad ham radio. Bad !
HAM stands for Help All Mankind .answer 2 Nice try, but no cigar!Ham is a derivative of amateur, in the same sense as on the stage.Amateur Radio.

There are many ham radio clubs around the world. When you become a member of a local ham club, you would be considered a club ham radio operator. There are clubs that have a repeater that they own and/or maintain. The club would have it's own call sign with the repeater.
It is an amateur radio {ham radio} callsign issued by the FCC.
