业余无线电通信联系，通常简称为“通联”，是两个业余无线电台之间的信息交换。交换通常包括一个初始呼叫，一个业余无线电台对另一个业余无线电操作员的响应以及一个信号报告。一次通联通常用Q简语：QSO表示，大致内容包括了台站的基本信息（呼号）和双方接收对方信号的状态。
业余无线电通信是通过业余无线电爱好者使用业余无线电台来实现的。业余业务是无线电业务的重要组成部分，他是一种用于业余无线电爱好者自我训练、相互通信和技术研究的无线电通信业务。业余无线电台的性质决定了其通信范围，通常限于技术交流、个人介绍以及竞赛等内容。
在特殊情况下，如自然灾害或紧急救援时，为了避免人员或财产损失，业余电台可以临时用于抢险救灾。需要注意，业余无线电通信的目的并非谋取利润，因此转达第三方的信息给对方是违背业余无线电的宗旨的。在业余通信中，全球爱好者信守尊重对方政治、宗教的原则。利用业余电台进行广播娱乐、传递机密消息或泄露国家机密是严格禁止的，违反者将受到法律惩罚。此外，在业余电台上进行无休止的长时间聊天也是全球爱好者所强烈反感的。
业余无线电联系人可以在业余无线电频段上采取多种模式的交流方式。因此，在开始通联前，了解通联的格式和所涉及的程序会有所帮助。通过这种方式，可以以最有效和最有效的方式与其他业余无线电爱好者交谈。事实上，当条件恶劣、信号强度低或干扰水平高时，这些程序特别有用。
一般来说，每次通话后应当加入Over或者“完毕”以示结束，这对信号质量不佳的情况下能方便对方确认通联信息，当结束通联后可以用Out代替Over。
以下是一段通联的范本，供读者参考(S代表发起方，R代表接收方)：
S:Hello CQ CQ CQ, this is G3YWX, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray, CQ CQ CQ, this is G3YWX, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray, CQ CQ CQ, this is G3YWX, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray, and G3YWX, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray is standing by for a call.
A:G3YWX, Golf three Yankee Whisky Xray, this is G3QAB, Golf three Quebec Alpha Bravo, Golf three Quebec Alpha Bravo.
S:G3QAB, this is G3YWX. Good morning old man and thank you for the call. Your report is 5 and 9, 5 and 9. My name is Ian, India Alpha November, Ian, and the location is Staines, Sierra Tango Alpha India November Echo Sierra. So how do you copy. G3QAB this is G3YWX listening.
A:G3YWX here is G3QAB. Good morning Ian and thank you for the report. Your report is 5 and 9 as well. My name is Mike, Mexico India Kilo Echo, and I am located to the north of London, Lima Oscar November Delta Oscar November. So I'll pass it back to you and see how you copy. G3YWX this is G3QAB passing transmission back to you.
S:G3QAB this is G3YWX. Thank you very much for the report Mike, and it is good to talk to you for the first time. The equipment here is a small transceiver running about 50 watts and the antenna is a vertical. The weather here today is warm and sunny, about 23 degrees Celsius, although we did have a little rain earlier. So I wonder how you are copying. G3QAB here is G3YWX.
A:G3YWX this is G3QAB. Fine business Ian and your transmitter is doing a good job for you. I am running about 100 watts to a dipole at about ten metres. The weather here is wet and about ten degrees Celsius. So back to you, G3YWX here is G3QAB
S:G3QAB here is G3YWX. Fine there Mike, and your equipment is also doing a good job for you. I would like to exchange QSL cards. I will send mine via the bureau and I look forward to receiving yours. I don't have a lot more to say so I will wish you 73s to you and yours, and look forward to the next QSO. G3QAB here is G3YWX listening for your final.
A:G3YWX this is G3QAB. Yes OK there Ian. Thank you for the QSO. I'll certainly send a card via the bureau and look forward to receiving yours. Best 73 and I hope to have another contact with you further down the log. All the best. G3YWX this is G3QAB signing.
和语音通联类似，CW或RTTY的通联也是需要重复呼号和其他重要信息来避免接收方无法抄收清楚的情况。和语音通联不同的是，CW或RTTY的信号报告由三位数字组成，分别代表信号质量、信号强度和音频还原度。下面给出一组CW标准通联的范例。

对于CW比赛来说，通联过程又有一些不同，显得较为干练和简短，请见以下范本：
S:CQ CQ CQ， DE G3YWX G3YWX G3YWX AR K
A:G3YWX DE G3QAB G3QAB AR KN

法规和国际业余无线电惯例要求业余无线电台日志记载的必要基本内容是：通信日期（DATE）、通信时间（TIME）、通信频率（FREQ）、通信模式（MODE）、对方呼号（CALL）、
双方信号报告（RST）
根据新《业余无线电管理办法》第36条：使用业余无线电台的单位或者个人应当如实将通信时间、通信频率、通信模式和通信对象等内容记入业余无线电台日志并保留2年以上。因此通联日志对于业余无线电通联来说是必不可少的一环。
