The Elmers’ Circle badge

Maybe it was the thrill of making your first contact. The idea of reaching someone across an ocean with nothing but radio waves and skill. The satisfaction of building something with your own hands and hearing it work. Or simply the pull of a community that speaks its own language, but welcomes anyone willing to learn it.

Amateur radio is one of the most diverse hobbies on earth. CW operators and contesters. DXers and ragchewers. Emergency communicators and antenna builders. Makers, activators, and chasers. Whatever drew you in, and wherever the hobby takes you, Ham Community is built to bring everyone together.

We built this place because we felt that pull ourselves, and because we believed the hobby deserved a forum as passionate and varied as the people who practice it. A place where curiosity is rewarded, where no question is unwelcome, and where the conversations actually go somewhere.

Woven into those discussions are our Elmers — carefully selected, experienced operators, identified as such. On most amateur radio forums, you never quite know who’s giving you advice. Here, when an Elmer weighs in, you know it’s experience talking.

We’re not the biggest amateur radio site. We’re not the oldest. We are hoping to be the best one.

Ijoined ham community because it promised to be a place where I could share my knowledge, while continuing to learn. I also liked how Ham Community allowed everyone to ask the most difficult, but also the simplest questions, and not be ridiculed.

Contains abusive or derogatory content
Bias is a tendency to favor or lean towards one perspective, person, or group, often at the expense of another. Bias can be conscious or unconscious (implicit) and can influence judgment, decision-making, and behavior. Unlike prejudice, which is explicitly about preconceived notions, biases can be more subtle and can even occur without the individual being fully aware of them. Bias is broader and can be positive or negative, affecting various aspects of life like decision-making in work, preferences in social settings, etc. Bias is basically a difference of opinion and that must be respected. Prejudice, however, refers to negative, preconceived opinions or attitudes held by an individual or group towards another group or individual, often without factual basis or experience. Prejudices are usually harmful, leading to unfair treatment or discrimination. They are often based on stereotypes and can be about race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other distinguishing characteristic. Prejudice is more about feelings and attitudes. Ham Community does not tolerate prejudice. We are all different, that's fine. Remember, duty and honor are built on respect. Use this reporting category sparingly and only if you are quite certain that the member is being openly and hurtfully prejudiced.
