Ham radio covers the shortwave bands. It also covers some of the longwave bands at 6 meters and below. AM is short for Amplitude Modulation, and FM is short for Frequency Modulation.

Welcome to the Ham Radio group. Ham Radio is what's used when nothing else is working. CB is limited to a small piece of the radio spectrum, about 1% as much as what's available to Hams. Legal amount of transmitting power for CB is much lower as well. On a 5 watt CB you might get from one side of a county to another, whereas 5 watts on a Ham rig has the potential to reach Australia. Getting your first Ham license isn't hard, espcially for someone with a decent level of radio experience, now that the requirement for Morse Code is gone.
