Dick Van Dyke, Barry Goldwater, Arthur Godfrey and many others extol the virtues of amateur "ham" radio in this vintage film. I converted this old and somewhat damaged 16mm film to video tape many many years ago when the technology to do that was rather archaic. I have now converted those old video reels to digital movies. Not the best quality but still quite amusing.

note: I have corrected the title here on youtube. this is "The World of Amateur Radio" NOT "The Ham's Wide World" as I had originally posted. I do have the "Ham's Wide World" also uploaded here.
