Yes, there are quite a few program designed for ham radio buffs. There
are a few on CIS's HAMNET Forum including a grid squares program, an
satellite tracking program (2 different ones), and numerous programs
related to packet radio including TCP/IP and some terminal software 
designed to work with the Kantronics TNC. Of course they are many IBM
programs out there that will run on the Amiga using either Transformer
or the Bridgecard (depending on the model machine you have).
