Amateur radio, a Rare card
Amateur radio, also known as Ham radio, is the use of specific bands and frequencies within the radio spectrum for non-commercial communication, technical experimentation, self-training, recreation, radiosport, contesting, and emergency communications.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A surge of popular interest in radio experimentation in the early 20th century necessitated that parts of the radio spectrum be allocated to non-professionals.
- In 1927 a radio amateur was defined as "a duly authorized person interested in radioelectric practice with a purely personal aim and without pecuniary interest", meaning without monetary or similar reward.
- The definition distinguished amateur activity from commercial broadcasting, public safety services, and professional two-way radio uses such as maritime, aviation, and taxi communication.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Amateur radio article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
