How do you HAM radio people use your radios? I mean do you just scan the airwaves and wait to hear someone and then talk to them or is there another way?
Is the point of it to meet new people and talk to them?

Thanks.
That's one area of the hobby, yes.

Although it's a whole plethora of different things to different poeple. Hams can legally use home built transmitters/amplifiers etc. Some "stations" don't have a single piece of commercially made kit in them. Some are into "DX Chasing", contacting distant places. Some transmit TV pictures, others use their PC's to transmit digitally......and so much more that to mention it all would take all night.
