WARC stands for World Administrative Radio Conference which is organised by the International Telecommunications Union. The conference sets up international agreements on the use of radio frequency bands.
One advantage of the 1979 conference was the allocation of new frequency bands for amateur radio use on HF. These bands are 30m, 17m & 12m and are generally referred to as the WARC bands.

What does phone mean in amateur radio?
Radiotelephone- that is voice talking ( called Phone for short) . The term , with the advent of cellular phones, which are in a very real sense radiophones- has engendered some confusion. Before their advent (Phone) in Amateur Radio use meant voice conversation- called Radiotelephone. The other major transmission mode was of course CW- Continuous Wave- that is, Code transmission- or radiotelegraphy. As of now, there are, of course , different types of licenses for Phone, and Code transmission. Prior to l992 there was an arbitrary Code test for ALL prospective amateurs. This ( Model T) requirement has been modified if one is using only Phone. Still there are the CW zealots.
Is amateur radio dying out?
No, it is not dying out. in fact, with the growth of the Internet, it has become accessible to a wider range of people and the opposite is in fact true. it has even become incredibly easy to set up. all you need is radio automation software (Eg. Mixxx), Lame Encoder, and a server. just go to caster beta and you will find all the instructions, and its all free. it is now only costing people as much as the Internet costs to stream it all. In my opinion, Amateur radio is fading because of the Internet, and other forms of communication that do not require a license. The simple truth is that the only fading is with appliance operators, glorified CB users with a license. Those numbers are fading, but not fast enough. The true radio amateur is an operator for life. There is much more to amateur radio than simple talk. Streaming over the Internet is not amateur radio, even though many use it. When conditions warrant, you will see the true amateur radio operators handling emergency communication, supplementing our local government emergency communication's. The internet will not be anywhere in site when that happens.

How can you listen and talk to police on your Ham radio in case of emergency?
With a standard Amateur license, you have no authorization to operate outside of the amateur frequency bands, and if you're using commercial type-accepted ham equipment, it won't operate outside of those bands anyway. Public Safety radio services don't operate in the amateur frequency bands. You can listen to them any time, with a 'scanner' that covers the police bands, but you can't talk to them. If you have a special license and different equipment, or if the local police want to acquire ham equipment to use in emergencies, then that's a different story.
How do you start amateur radio?
