These amateurs are requested to please register their stations as educational as well as special event stations by completing and sending the forms on pages 26 and 29 of the July-August issue of Radio ZS to the SARL HQ.
Radio amateurs routinely communicate globally on LF and HF bands, inter-continentally on VHF and some UHF bands, and internationally on bands up to the highest microwave frequencies.
Radio Amateurs are able to go in to disaster areas, to set up radio communications within the area, and to the outside world, enabling the authorities to co-ordinate relief work.

Amateur Radio operators will hide a radio transmitter in a defined area and challenge other hams to find the transmitter.
Some Radio Amateurs do so even though they have big antennas at home because they like doing Amateur Radio out in the open spaces.
Mobile amateur radio operators and CBers can help by relaying messages to base stations who in turn will call the police.

Also radio amateurs still use it widely because it offers advantages in terms of the simplicity of the equipment and being able to make contact under conditions when other forms of communication would not be able to get through.
