HamSphere accepts both licensed Ham operators and unlicensed enthusiasts who have the intention of becoming licensed.
Unlicensed enthusiasts on HamSphere have a specific HS callsign based on the international country prefix index.
If you are a licensed Ham operator, we encourage you to guide, help and support the HS users on the system.


You should follow the Amateur Radio ethics on HamSphere:

* Always listen if the frequency is clear before you call. Be courteous!
* Always use your own callsign, either your HAM-call or approved HS-call.
* Call CQ on any frequency. There are no calling frequencies on the Ham Bands (except 27.555 MHz on 11m)
* Keep your modulation within the ALC level 3-5 for VOICE operation.
* Keep your modulation MAX ALC level 1.5 for CW operation with own sinewave oscillator.
* For CW operation, stay on 160, 80 and 30 meters..
* Use only as much power as you need to maintain a QSO depending on the propagation.
* Amateur Radio is commercial free. Absolutely NO Commercial ADVERTISING in Chat or Verbally. Failure to follow this directive will result in banning of your account.

On HamSphere we use the Amateur Radio Protocol which means: Always end your transmissions with:
"The callsign of the operator to speak next" followed by "this is" and "your callsign" and "over"

Like Skype except you pretend to be on the Radio,
Or
like Echolink without being sometimes on the radio.

Unlike Skype or any free simulation using VOIP, they expect you to pay.

Nor is it anything to do with SDR, it's just a simulator using VOIP to link connections on the Internet.
