Amateur radio

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
My father was an amateur radio operator and my sister and I both enjoyed listening to him talk to people over the radio as children. It is important because it can be used when phone lines and cell towers are down. Just given a quick look, it seems to have a good foundation of subcategories pertinent to the topic.

Evaluate the article
(Compose a detailed evaluation of the article here, considering each of the key aspects listed above. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what a useful Wikipedia article evaluation looks like.)

Lead Section- okay (does not include a brief description of all article topics)

Content- okay (It seems to be missing a section about specific types of equipment.)

Tone and Balance- good (seems to be neutral)

Sources and References- good (many references, a sampling of them seem to be linked correctly)

Organization and Writing Quality- okay (One section, modes of communication, could use some more explanation next to each bullet point)

Images and Media- okay (The images that exist all include appropriate descriptions, but more photos could help better explain the topic. Additionally, the images seem to be fairly dated.)

Talk Page Discussion- okay (The conversation seems to be old, from 2011. They talked about about pictures which is one of my concerns with the article. The most recent comment is from 2019.)

Overall Impressions- good (There is definitely room for improvement. The article was nominated to be "good" but missed some criteria.)
