Handi-Talkie
An amateur radio transceiver that will fit into ones hand. Usually
seen at hamfests or communications events, as they are portable, and
can go virtually anywhere. However, they tend to not be high powered,
and the battery can run down quick, if the unit is used excessively... especially at high power.

or of other safety services or seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service operating in accordance with the
Radio Regulations.
Harmonic
1. Children.
2. Secondary RF emission that is a multiple of the fundamental emission.
HF
"High Frequency"; generally regarded as the band of frequencies between
1.8 MHz and 30 MHz

Homebrew
