Sorry, but what is a ham? a HAM radio operator or something else?
The 'ham' in ham radio seems like it should be an acronym or something, but it's actually just short for 'ham-fisted' and doesn't need any special treatment. :)

Yeah, IIUC, HAM dedicates its lower-fidelity bands to Morse.
Correct (a HAM radio operator)
