HAM Radio operators
Anyone here? In light of recent events I'm seriously considering getting my license and a nice home base station. Any suggestions from current radio operators?

I like HAM sandwiches - that's about all I have to offer in this thread.

My father was an avid ham radio operator. He was on his gear every single day/evening. I still remember his call sign/letters: w0pgk. He would talk to people all over the world.

I'm licensed, but haven't done much with it in years. Now that I live in an apartment, that puts an end to anything but local stuff on 2 meters.

Grandpa was one. He had a lot of good friendships over the HAM.

I don't know what the equipment is like these days, but his had a giant apparatus on his roof. I always had to climb up there and monkey with it if there was monkeying to do.

The radios themselves have changed. All digital, smaller, but still expensive. Antennas are still big, unless you just use a long wire like I always did (antennas can't' help it, they are limited by the laws of physics concerning radio waves and radio wave propagation).

Played around on it a lot when I was in Boy Scouts and knew nothing whatsoever about how they worked.
Now I know how they work and haven't seen one in person in decades.

DC can't respond right now, he's out back digging a ditch to bury the school bus full of canned goods he bought on Craigslist.

I have my license and play around a bit with it. Getting the license is really easy to do. Search a study guide online and practice a few times and you'll get the hang of it pretty quick. If I remember right it was 14 bucks to take the test. I recommend looking at a baofeng handheld unit on Amazon cor your first radio. Very cheap compared to other models and works great.

Usually as a solution to sexual boredom.

Yeah it is fairly inexpensive for the license. I didn't know you could use a long wire in place of an antenna tho?

You will piss off the neighbors with the long wire. My neighbor has been a ham radio enthusiast for 30 some years he has been here. When he was on it the TV would go haywire even cable. About 10 years ago he put up a 30' tower with big ass antenna on top and a natural gas generator if power goes out. When that went up the interference stopped. Hell he even has a big ass antenna on his car and he and his buds meet up on Weekends and all drive off with similar antenna for what I dont know.
