		Amateur radio is arguably as old as the medium itself, but certainly dates back to the 1920s, when the precursor to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set aside specific frequencies for ham operators.
		Typical AM radio frequencies range from about 535 to 1605 kilohertz; hams populate the high to ultra-high range of about 1,800 to 29,700 kilohertz.
