An amateur radio operator is an individual who has been assigned an amateur radio license by a governmental regulatory authority. An amateur radio operator uses the equipment at an amateur radio station to engage in two-way personal communications with other similarly licensed individuals using radio frequencies assigned to the Amateur Radio Service. As a condition of their license, most amateur radio operators are assigned a call sign that they use to identify themselves during communication. There are about three million amateur radio operators worldwide.

Amateur radio operators are also known as radio amateurs or hams. The origins of the term "ham" as a synonym for amateur radio operator are a source of significant debate. An amateur radio operator who has died is referred to by other amateur radio operators as a "silent key".

 
 
Age :

In most countries there is no minimum age requirement to earn an amateur radio license and become an amateur radio operator. Although the number of amateur radio operators in many countries increases from year to year, the average age of amateur radio operators is quite high. In some countries, the average age is over 60 years old, with most amateur radio operators earning their license in their 40s or 50s.

Some national radio societies have responded to this by developing programs specifically to encourage youth participation in amateur radio, such as the American Radio Relay League's Amateur Radio Education and Technology Program. The World Wide Young Contesters organization promotes youth involvement, particularly amongst Europeans, in competitive radio contesting.
