I don't understand the appeal for HAM radio?
What am I missing?
I don't even like speaking on the phone when a call is legit, I yank the receiver off and hand it to SWMBO.
Of course, I can't for all practical purposes speak any longer, a few croaks and I'm done.
While I too have no interest in HAM, I know I owe a HUGE debt of gratitude to the civilian radio operators who participated in the MARS program while in I was in Vietnam. While the program is much reduced today, due to the Internet and email, if not for those fine folks I would have not had the oportunity to talk to my wife while there. I got to do it twice, as access was on a very limited basis So.
to HAMs everywhere.
