More about motif:
Amateur radio operators (hams) are people interested in radio communications,
whose hobby consists of using special radio equipment (radio stations) to talk
to other people with the same hobby. They can establish communications worldwide
24 hours a day and are always prepared to provide valuable voluntary assistance
should the need occur, already proven during all major natural disasters. Amateur
radio operators are also active in the research of properties of radio wave
propagation and the use of different techniques for the transmission of signals.
