The oldest radio service?

Amateur's have been around since the beginning of radio itself when many individuals built,communicated and experimented with radio.They communicated using Morse cord,that strange configuration of dits and dash still holds the fascination of many operators todays.Amateur's,or ''hams'' as we are known,have been at the forefront of radio technology.Many hams have pioneered the art of radio and provided experimentation which has led to many of today's high technology communication capabilities.A good example of this experimentation is communicating through a personal computer.Hams also communicate with computers,but instead of using the phone lines to transfer the information,we send the information over the air waves using HF or VHF/UHF radio equipment.
