Fixed station of a German amateur radio operatorFixed amateur radio station in the United States featuring vintage equipment
An amateur radio station is a radio station designed to provide radiocommunications in the amateur radio service for an amateur radio operator. Radio amateurs build and operate several types of amateur radio stations, including fixed ground stations, mobile stations, space stations, and temporary field stations. A slang term often used for an amateur station's location is the shack, named after the small enclosures added to the upperworks of naval ships to hold early radio equipment and batteries.[1][2]

^RadioShack Corporate Information Archived 2009-04-08 at the Wayback Machine "The name 'RadioShack' is a nautical term that dates back to the invention of the radio at the turn of the 20th century. At the time, wireless radio equipment aboard ships was generally housed above the bridge in a wooden structure called the 'radio shack.' The founders of RadioShack thought the name appropriate for a new retail business that supplied electronic equipment to 'ham' radio operators and ships' radio officers."
